- Plan lighting near the hatch
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Check the van can park on site

Park the van close to the door.
Festive lights by the van look great.

Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
Compared with a restaurant Christmas lunch, a van means no booking, no travel and no time off site. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
What you get with us
- Quick service from the hatch
- A menu almost everyone likes
- Something for guests to gather round
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Organising for someone else?
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.

How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- How many people are eating
- The day of the week
- The length of service
- How far we travel
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
Getting an accurate quote

- Your date and serving time

Questions from Hartfordbridge
Which station is closest to Hartfordbridge?
Winchfield station, about 2.3 miles south of the centre.
Is Hartfordbridge close to London?
About 37 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is generally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What can guests choose from?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Can the van come to Hartfordbridge?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Hartfordbridge is within our area and the rest of Hampshire. For a quote, use our quote form.
