How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Lyndhurst
The van parks outside and serves hot food. Whether it’s work Christmas parties and christmas fairs at schools, we can cook haddock and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips for your guests.
In Lyndhurst, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. We need firm ground and some light. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Lyndhurst questions
What’s the nearest station to Lyndhurst?
The closest is Ashurst New Forest station, roughly 2.4 miles away.
Can the van go to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, including Hampshire. Find your area.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is 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.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- Access and parking
- Travel, tolls and road charges

Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your Christmas party is.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Expected numbers
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- The address or venue name
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
A hog roast is popular at Christmas, but it is pork only. A van offers fish, sausages and pies. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
Why us?
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Bookings across Hampshire, including Lyndhurst

Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Check the van can park on site
- Plan lighting near the hatch
We park somewhere lit and get the fryers hot before the party starts.
A hot drinks station run by your team pairs well with the van.
How it works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. By about 4:00pm in late December, it’s dark in Lyndhurst; choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- You tell us the date, the venue or site, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check access and lighting at the spot and send a price.
- Arrival time and a well-lit spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order and serve from the hatch on time.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave you to the party.
How to prepare
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Share the timings for the day
