Christmas party fish and chips in Knightwood, cooked to order
The van parks outside and serves hot food. We are frequently asked to cater end-of-year club parties and work Christmas parties, serving haddock and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
For a Christmas get-together near Knightwood, a chip van on the drive is a treat. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Common questions in Knightwood
Is Knightwood close to London?
About 67 miles from central London.
What’s the nearest station to Knightwood?
Chandlers Ford station, about 0.8 miles south-east of the centre.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can the van come to Knightwood?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Knightwood is within our area and the rest of Hampshire. To check your date, use our quote form.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
