A chip van near New Milton
Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in New Milton
The Christmas season is short and busy, so ask as soon as you know yours. For festive open days and office Christmas parties, we’ll put together a menu of gravy, mushy peas and cod and chips.
At a festive party in New Milton, a chip van on the drive is a treat. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before booking.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
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 cooks in front of your guests instead.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Compared with a restaurant Christmas lunch, a van means no booking, no travel and no time off site. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is often the best value.

Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
The process
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. December in New Milton means early darkness: sunset is about 4:05pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.

- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Give us a contact for the day
