DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
About our Christmas party fish and chips in Hog Hatch
We plan winter events around the dark and the weather: a well-lit spot for the van and the queue, and service timed so people aren’t outside for long. Whether it’s depot Christmas treats and school and PTA Christmas fairs, we will put together a menu of gravy, mushy peas and curry sauce for your guests.
At a festive party in Hog Hatch, a chip van on the drive is a treat on a dark December evening. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Food your guests will love
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Hog Hatch
Can the van park in Weybourne LNR?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Hog Hatch?
Farnham station, about 1.5 miles south-east of the centre.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is generally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What can guests choose from?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
How much does a fish and chip van for your Christmas party cost in Hog Hatch?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your Christmas party and we’ll send a quote.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a restaurant Christmas lunch, a van means no booking, no travel and no time off site. Larger groups normally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why book our van in Hog Hatch
- Fried fresh, not kept warm

- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

If you’re planning any of these, we can help:

How the day works
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. At about 3:55pm in late December, it gets dark in Hog Hatch, so put the van where there’s good light.
