Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- A spot near your guests
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
From the hatch
- Haddock and chips
- Gravy
- Curry sauce
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
About our Christmas party fish and chips in Freefolk
Family get-togethers over the festive season can use a van too. On the menu are sausage and chips, gravy and mushy peas, and we are regularly asked to cater warehouse and depot Christmas lunches and end-of-year customer events.
In a small place like Freefolk, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Freefolk?
Venue Christmas packages add up. A van in the car park keeps it simple. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.
What you get with us
- A quote that spells everything out
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones

Freefolk: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Freefolk?
Whitchurch (Hampshire) station, about 1.4 miles west of the centre.
How far is Freefolk from London?
Roughly 55 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
Yes, if there’s a suitable spot for the van and the site allows it.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, including Hampshire. See all areas.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Occasions we serve in Freefolk
It works for teams who can’t leave site.
These are some of the bookings we take:
- Office Christmas parties
- Depot Christmas treats
- Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons
- End-of-year club parties
A winter fair at a school like Testbourne Community School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular.
Comparing caterers
- VAT, if it applies
- How much space the van takes up
- The service time, and the cost of running over
- Any travel, parking or access charges
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Flag any coeliac guests
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Plan lighting near the hatch
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
Send people out in groups.
A bit of festive music by the van helps.
How the day works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and we agree exactly where before the day. An afternoon Christmas party in Freefolk can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 4:00pm, so put the van where there’s good light.
- Send us your December date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get an access check and a clear quote.
- Arrival time and a well-lit spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day we set up and fry fresh at the agreed time.
- We clear our spot and head off.
How to prepare
- Make sure the van can get in
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- The minimum booking
- Service time
- Parking and the way in
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
Details that help
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Your date and serving time
- Where the event is
- Rough numbers for adults and children
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can use our quote form.
