Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Fordingbridge
A fish and chip van in the car park or outside the venue gives everyone a hot meal. Popular choices include gravy, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for staff Christmas parties and festive open days.
For a Christmas get-together near Fordingbridge, a chip van on the drive is a treat on a dark December evening. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. In general, we need:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

What happens on the day
Service is quick: food goes from the fryer to the hatch. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. It gets dark in Fordingbridge by about 4:05pm at Christmas; choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day

Why choose a fish and chip van in Fordingbridge?
Hog roasts are a Christmas favourite, but it’s pork only. A chip van gives a choice. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.
Why us?
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
Read our prices page and the cost guide.
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Fordingbridge
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
How much does a fish and chip van for your Christmas party cost in Fordingbridge?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
