Fresh fish and chips in Netley
Working with your venue
Organising a club, school or community event in Netley? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
About our Christmas party fish and chips in Netley
It works for teams who can’t all leave at once, with service timed to each group. Popular choices include curry sauce, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for festive open days and christmas markets and fairs.
In Netley, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. We need firm ground and some light. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer before you book.
How the day works
You do not need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your Christmas party. The frying and serving are down to us. An afternoon Christmas party in Netley can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 4:00pm; light the path to the van.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
How to prepare
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Have a level parking spot ready

Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Put allergy details in writing
We park somewhere lit and get the fryers hot.
Christmas music near the van sets the mood.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- How far we travel
- Service time
- Your choice of menu
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
What we need to know
The more we know about your Christmas party, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Your date and serving time
- Where the van would park
It is easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.

Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
A big takeaway order rarely arrives hot. The van fries on site. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Why book with us
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
Netley in December: what to know
Netley is about 3 miles north-east of Hythe, in Hampshire. From the centre of Netley to the outskirts, the service works the same way: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. We take the van to 683 places across Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages.
Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as Church of St Edward the Confessor draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards. If you’re organising a Christmas fair for a school like Netley Abbey Infant School, hot fish and chips goes down well. Netley is within about 7 miles of the New Forest National Park; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning. With the sea within about 2 miles, December breezes can be cold, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
We take the van to Christmas parties all over SO31. Local streets include Station Road, The Crescent and Hunt Avenue; a Christmas party on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. Close by, we cover Christmas parties in Butlocks Heath (1 mile north-east), Hound (1 mile south-east), Weston (1 mile north-west), Old Netley (1 mile north-east) and Lowford (1 mile north-east). Larger places within reach include Winchester (13 miles north), Gosport (10 miles south-east), Eastleigh (6 miles north), Fareham (7 miles east), Horndean (15 miles east) and Totton (8 miles west).
A little further out are Bursledon Brickworks Industrial Museum (2.5 miles east) and Coldeast (2.8 miles east). The countryside around Netley includes Mercury Marshes.
- Nearby schools include The Hamble School (0.9 miles east) and Grove Park Business and Enterprise College (1 mile north)
- Pubs nearby include Prince Consort Public House (under half a mile south-west)
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
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.
Netley questions
Which station is closest to Netley?
Netley station, in Netley itself.
Could you trade in Westwood Woodland Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Hampshire. See all areas.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
