Planning a Christmas party in Maybush
Maybush is about 3 miles east of Totton, in Southampton. Maybush is well within our area, so your Christmas party just needs a date, a spot for the van and a serving time. Maybush is one of 40 places in Southampton we cover.
If a church like St Peter's Church is running a Christmas fair, a chip van is a welcome sight on a cold evening. PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as Newlands Primary School, suit a chip van. The New Forest National Park is within about 7 miles of Maybush; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning. The coast is within about 4 miles of Maybush, and winter sea winds can be bitter.
We serve Christmas parties across SO16 and SO15. Whether your Christmas party is on Link Road, Palm Road and Vine Road or a nearby road, we can park up and fry there. For Christmas parties just outside Maybush, we cover Coxford (1 mile north-east), Hillyfields (1 mile north-west), Regents Park (1 mile south-east), Shirley (1 mile south-east) and Millbrook (1 mile south). Larger places within reach include Southampton (3 miles east), Townhill Park (4 miles east), Midanbury (4 miles east), Thornhill (5 miles east), Chartwell Green (4 miles east) and Harefield (5 miles east).
Nearby you will also find Eling Experience (1.8 miles south-west) and Western Community Hospital (under half a mile south). Green spaces nearby include Testwood Lakes.
- Nearby schools include Millbrook Community School (within half a mile north-west) and Regents Park Community College (0.7 miles south-east)
- Pubs nearby include Bridge Tavern (under half a mile north-east)

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Questions from Maybush
What’s the nearest station to Maybush?
The closest is Redbridge station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
Do you come to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What time should the van serve at a Christmas party?
Whenever suits your party. Remember it’s dark by about 4pm in December.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes, and hot food goes down well in December. Contact us with the date.
When should we book for December?
As soon as you have a date.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.

Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Put allergy details in writing
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Choose a lit spot for the van
- Let us know about coeliac disease
Park the van close to the door.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.
How it works
Here’s how the day generally runs: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. Sunset in Maybush in late December is about 4:00pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- Send us your December date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check access and lighting at the spot and send a price.
- We agree arrival, lighting and the serving spot with you or the venue.
- On the day we set up and fry fresh at the agreed time.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Preparing for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Tell us when you want to eat
How to get a price
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
