About our Christmas party fish and chips in Durley Street
It’s a crowd-pleaser, which makes it a safe choice for a mixed team. Whether it’s festive gatherings after Christmas and christmas fairs and lights switch-ons, we’ll put together a menu of pie and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
For a Christmas party near Durley Street, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
About the food
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Planning a Christmas party in Durley Street
Durley Street is about 4 miles north-east of Hedge End, in Hampshire. From the centre of Durley Street to the outskirts, the service works the same way: fresh frying, hot food from the hatch and a clear price. Durley Street is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire where we bring the van. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 7 miles away.
PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as Wyvern Technology College, suit a chip van.
We take the van to Christmas parties all over SO32 and the streets around it. Local streets include Scivier's Lane and Manor Road; a Christmas party on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. Other places close to Durley Street we cover include Wintershill (1 mile north-west), Lower Upham (1 mile north), Durley (1 mile south-west), Ashton (1 mile north-east) and Bishop's Waltham (2 miles east). Larger places within reach include Winchester (8 miles north-west), Gosport (11 miles south), Havant (13 miles south-east), Eastleigh (4 miles west), Fareham (8 miles south) and Horndean (11 miles east).
A little further out are Moorgreen Hospital (3.9 miles south-west) and Bishop's Waltham Museum (1.4 miles east). The countryside around Durley Street includes Bishops Waltham Branch LNR.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A cold buffet in December is not much of a treat. Hot food from the van does. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your Christmas party is.

How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Service time
- Parking and the way in
- The day of the week
- How many people are eating
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The address or venue name
- Your date and serving time
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Questions from Durley Street
Do you come out to small places like Durley Street?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Durley Street?
The closest is Hedge End station, roughly 2.8 miles away.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
When should we book for December?
Ideally in the summer or early autumn.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes, it’s a popular stall. Send us the details.
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 and we will reply with a price.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, Hampshire included. See all areas.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
- Plan cover for the queue
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Put allergy details in writing
For a work party, food early in the evening normally works best.
Some teams collect for a local charity on the day.

The process
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. Sunset in Durley Street in late December is about 4:00pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
