What’s on the menu?

Generally, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.

Christmas party fish and chips in Hinxhill Park, cooked to order
December dates book up early, so it pays to ask early. Whether it is depot Christmas treats and office Christmas parties, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, gravy and pie and chips for your guests.
Near Hinxhill Park, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.
How the day works
We do not cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. In December, it’s dark in Hinxhill Park by about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- First, tell us about your Christmas party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
Getting a price
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. To send them, fill in our quote form.
Planning help
For event organisers in Hinxhill Park
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
Serving early, before the drinks flow, is frequently wise.
Paper hats and crackers on the tables add to the fun.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is a favourite in colder months.
A chip van compared with other options
A cold buffet doesn’t feel festive. Hot fish and chips is. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.
Why Hinxhill Park hosts choose us
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- A clear quote before you book
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
