Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Furzey Lodge
Can you serve near the sea around Furzey Lodge?
Yes, of course. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Do you come to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can the van come to Furzey Lodge?
Yes, we do. Furzey Lodge is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Where can the van park?
Not much: 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.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What time should the van serve at a Christmas party?
At the time you choose. Plan lighting, as it is dark early.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.

Planning a Christmas party in Furzey Lodge
Furzey Lodge is about 5 miles south-west of Hythe, in Hampshire. Whether your Christmas party is in the middle of Furzey Lodge or on the outskirts, the service works the same way: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. We serve 683 places across Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. We serve events right across the region, from Furzey Lodge to Southampton (about 8 miles away).
PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as Beaulieu Village Primary School, suit a chip van. Furzey Lodge is within about 2 miles of the New Forest National Park; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning. The coast is within about 6 miles of Furzey Lodge, and winter sea winds can be bitter, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue.

Planning help
Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
Serving early, before the drinks flow, is frequently wise.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.
Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Furzey Lodge?
