Fresh fish and chips in Milton Hill
How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Milton Hill
A chip van is a welcome sight at a Christmas fair, with hot food for visitors in the cold. We serve sausage and chips, gravy and curry sauce, and we are frequently booked for club and society Christmas socials and festive family gatherings.
In winter near Milton Hill, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Milton Hill
Do you come out to small places like Milton Hill?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you come to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.
The menu, dish by dish

- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
