FAQs for Foxcotte
Which station is closest to Foxcotte?
Andover station, about 1.2 miles south-east of the centre.
How far is Foxcotte from London?
About 64 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you do work Christmas parties?
Yes. Tell us the date, site and numbers as early as you can.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
A chip van compared with other options
A hog roast is popular at Christmas, but it is one dish. A chip van gives a choice. Larger groups generally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What you get with us
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Bookings across Hampshire, including Foxcotte
See our prices page or the cost guide.
Step by step
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it is served. In December, it’s dark in Foxcotte 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.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
How to get a price

DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
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.
Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Check the van can park on site
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Choose a lit spot for the van
- Plan cover for the queue
When service is finished, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Crackers on the tables finish it off.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- The day of the week
- Service time
- The minimum booking
- Access and parking
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your Christmas party is.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Where you’d like the van to go
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. When you are ready, use our quote form.
