Fresh fish and chips in New Alresford
Christmas party fish and chips in New Alresford, fried fresh
December bookings are planned for the dark and the cold: a lit, sheltered spot, and service timed so people are not outside for long. For christmas customer days and warehouse and depot Christmas lunches, we can cook haddock and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips.
In New Alresford, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. The van needs a lit spot and a firm surface. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
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. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.

FAQs for New Alresford
How far is New Alresford from London?
About 54 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
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.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
When do Christmas bookings fill up?
As early as possible. December weekends and Fridays are the first to go.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What if it’s raining or freezing?
We cook inside the van, so the weather does not stop us. Plan a short, lit route from the door to the hatch.
Do you cover New Alresford?
Yes, we do. We serve events in New Alresford and across Hampshire. Send us your date to check availability.
The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order.
How it works
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. Sunset in New Alresford in late December is about 4:00pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Let us know the serving time
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
