About the food
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order.
Landport: your questions answered
Is Landport close to London?
Roughly 65 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Could you trade in Alexandra Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
When should we book for December?
Very early. Fridays in December book up first.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
Do you cater Christmas fairs?
Yes. Send us the event details and the pitch information.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Prices and what affects them
There is nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- Parking and the way in
- Service time
- The day of the week
- Distance and any road charges
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Where the event is
- Anything awkward about the way in
- A photo of the parking spot
- Where the van would park

Christmas catering near Landport

For Christmas parties in Landport, the van can park on drives, in car parks and yards, and on firm lawns and fields in and around Landport. We serve 19 places across Portsmouth, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Landport to Southampton (16 miles away).
For anyone getting the train home after the party, Landport has its own station, Portsmouth & Southsea station. A winter fair at a school like Ark Dickens Primary Academy gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. With the sea within about 2 miles, December breezes can be cold.

Working with your venue
Having the party at home? Send us a picture of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
The process
Here’s how the day usually runs: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch when you are ready to eat. December in Landport means early darkness: the light goes at about 4:00pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Clear the route for the van
