Christmas party fish and chips in Eversley Cross, cooked to order
A fish and chip van in the car park or outside the venue gives everyone a hot meal. For work Christmas parties and christmas markets and fairs, we can cook curry sauce, gravy and sausage and chips and more.
In a small place like Eversley Cross, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a restaurant Christmas lunch, a van brings the meal to the team. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.
Why book with us
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- A quote that spells everything out
- Rain does not stop the fryers
- We cover Eversley Cross and the whole of Hampshire
The process
We don’t cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. By about 3:55pm in late December, it is dark in Eversley Cross; park the van where there is good light.
- First, tell us about your Christmas party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Clear the route for the van
Ask for a quote
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, use our quote form.

Common questions in Eversley Cross
Is Eversley Cross close to London?
Roughly 35 miles from the centre of London.
What’s the nearest station to Eversley Cross?
The closest is Crowthorne station, roughly 2.3 miles away.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
What time is best for food?
Food early on is usually wise, before the drinks really flow. For a lunch, tell us your break time.
How early do Christmas dates go?
Ideally in the summer or early autumn, especially for a Friday.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
