Christmas party fish and chips in Ewshot, cooked to order

Ewshot questions
Do you come out to small places like Ewshot?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van park in Basingbourne Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Why choose Christmas party fish and chips in Ewshot?
Christmas dinner fatigue is real, so a chip van makes a nice change.
Almost any gathering works with a fish and chip van. People in Ewshot book the van for events such as:
- Christmas customer days
- School and PTA Christmas fairs
- Christmas lunches for shift teams
- Festive gatherings after Christmas
If you’re organising a Christmas fair for a school like St Nicholas' School, hot fish and chips goes down well.

Planning the van’s spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Access wide and high enough for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
On the menu in Ewshot
- Pie and chips
- Gravy
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
- Curry sauce
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- December Fridays go first: book early
Send people out in groups.
