How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Denmead

Common questions in Denmead
What’s the nearest station to Denmead?
The closest is Cosham station, roughly 4.1 miles away.
Is Denmead close to London?
Roughly 59 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you do Christmas markets?
Yes, it is a popular stall. Get in touch with the date.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options before you book.
What does the van need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Hampshire. See all areas.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
About the food
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A hog roast is popular at Christmas, but it’s pork only. A van offers fish, sausages and pies. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.
