About our Christmas party fish and chips in Fareham
The Christmas season is short and busy, so ask as soon as you know yours. Whether it’s school and PTA Christmas fairs and family Christmas get-togethers, we can cook mushy peas, sausage and chips and haddock and chips for your guests.
In a town like Fareham, a Christmas party might be at the office, a club or home. A chip van needs a level, lit spot nearby. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.

Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Fareham
How far is Fareham from London?
Roughly 65 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to Fareham?
Fareham has its own station: Fareham station.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, Hampshire included. Find your area.
Can you come to our office Christmas party?
Yes. Tell us the date, site and numbers as early as you can.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes, and hot food goes down well in December. Send us the details.
What if it’s raining or freezing?
Not for the cooking. Plan cover and lighting for the queue.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Children typically love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
For planners, venues and organisers
Hosting at home? Send us a picture of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
How the day works
You’ll know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first guests wander across. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. In December, it is dark in Fareham by about 4:00pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Name one person we can call on the day
