Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Gosport
The Christmas season is short and busy, so it pays to ask early. For club and society Christmas socials and staff Christmas parties, we can cook gravy, cod and chips and curry sauce and more.
For a Christmas party near Gosport, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. We plan the timings around your day, so the food is ready when you want to eat.
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. Generally, we look for:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A spot near your guests
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

The process
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Sunset in Gosport in late December is about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- You tell us the date, the venue or site, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the spot for the van and send a quote.
- We plan a lit, sheltered spot for the van and queue.
- On the day we set up and fry fresh at the agreed time.
- We pack up when service ends and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Common questions in Gosport
How far is Gosport from London?
Roughly 67 miles from the centre of London.
Which station is closest to Gosport?
Chandlers Ford station, about 2.6 miles south-east of the centre.
What time should the van serve at a Christmas party?
Early in the evening normally works best, before the drinks really flow. For lunchtime, we’ll work to your break.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Gosport.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
