Christmas party fish and chips in Fair Oak, fried fresh
It is a crowd-pleaser, which makes it ideal for a big, mixed group. For end-of-year customer events and staff Christmas parties, we can cook cod and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce and more.
Around Fair Oak, Christmas parties are frequently at home, the village hall or a club. We need firm ground and some light. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and it is a favourite with children.
Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A clear area by the serving hatch
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

Christmas parties in Fair Oak: local tips
Fair Oak is about 2 miles east of Eastleigh, in Hampshire. Wherever your Christmas party is in the SO50 area, we will come to your venue, home or workplace. Fair Oak is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire where we bring the van.
Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as Saint Thomas draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards. A winter fair at a school like Fair Oak Junior School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular.
Christmas parties anywhere in SO50 start with a parking spot for the van and a serving time. From Dean Road, Witt Road and Sandy Lane or a nearby road, we’ll bring the van to you. We also bring the van to Christmas parties in Horton Heath (1 mile south), Wintershill (2 miles east), Durley (2 miles south-east), Lower Upham (2 miles east) and Durley Street (2 miles east). Further out, we also take the van to Winchester (7 miles north), Gosport (13 miles south-east), Havant (15 miles south-east), Fareham (9 miles south-east), Horndean (13 miles east) and Totton (10 miles west).
Other landmarks nearby include Moorgreen Hospital (2.7 miles south-west) and Eastleigh Museum (2.5 miles west). Green spaces nearby include Bishops Waltham Branch LNR.
- Nearby schools include Wyvern Technology College (less than half a mile south) and Wyvern Technology College (within half a mile south)
- Pubs nearby include The Old George Public House (under half a mile north)
