Christmas party fish and chips in Mount Pleasant, cooked to order

Fish and chips is food everyone enjoys, which makes it ideal for a big, mixed group. We are often asked to cater club and society Christmas socials and staff Christmas parties, with curry sauce, gravy and haddock and chips.

In winter near Mount Pleasant, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Looking after everyone

Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:

We arrive in good time and set up in a lit spot.

Mount Pleasant in December: what to know

Mount Pleasant is about 2 miles north-west of Lymington, in Hampshire. For a Christmas party in Mount Pleasant, we can park on a drive, a car park, a yard or firm, dry grass. We take the van to all 683 towns and villages in Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 13 miles away.

A winter fair at a school like Priestlands School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. Mount Pleasant is within about 3 miles of the New Forest National Park; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning. The coast is within about 3 miles of Mount Pleasant, and winter sea winds can be bitter.

Wherever your Christmas party is in SO41, we can bring the van to you. Streets in the area include Mount Pleasant Lane and Kings Hyde, and the van can serve a Christmas party on any of them with a suitable parking spot.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Mount Pleasant

Can you serve near the sea around Mount Pleasant?

Yes. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.

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 follow the site rules.

Can you cater for allergies?

Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.

What does it cost to hire the van?

Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.

What if the weather’s bad?

We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

Do you bring everything you need?

We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.

Is the fish gluten-free?

No, not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before booking.

Can the van park on the street?

It depends on the road. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.

Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?

For a Christmas party that feels a bit different, a chip van is hard to beat. There is 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. We set everything out in your quote.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s 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’s crisp.

Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Gravy

A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.

Pie and chips

For a heartier option, there is pie and chips, perfect with gravy.

Step by step

We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Your guests can wander over to the hatch once service starts. December in Mount Pleasant means early darkness: the light goes at about 4:05pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
