About our Christmas party fish and chips in Monxton
We plan winter events around the dark and the weather: a well-lit spot for the van and the queue, and service timed so people are not outside for long. Whether it is end-of-year club parties and warehouse and depot Christmas lunches, we’ll put together a menu of curry sauce, gravy and pie and chips and more.
In winter near Monxton, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.
Working with your venue
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How many people are eating
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.
What we need to know
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- The date and time of the event
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The venue or postcode
Still finalising the details? No problem: tell us the basics about your Christmas party, and we’ll quote on that. To start, fill in our quote form.
How it works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, which we agree with you beforehand. December in Monxton means early darkness: the light goes at about 4:00pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
How to get a price
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.

The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Book as early as possible for December
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- Send allergies to us in writing
Park the van close to the door.
A hot drinks station run by your team pairs well with the van.
Monxton questions
How far is Monxton from London?
About 66 miles from central London.
What’s the nearest station to Monxton?
The closest is Andover station, roughly 2.8 miles away.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
