Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Newtown
December dates book up early, so ask as soon as you know yours. On the menu are gravy, cod and chips and pie and chips, and we’re often booked for depot Christmas treats and end-of-year customer events.
In a small place like Newtown, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
What the van needs
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.
From the hatch

What else we do in Newtown
How the day works
The first sign we’ve arrived is normally the smell. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. At about 4:00pm in late December, it gets dark in Newtown; light the path to the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Christmas catering near Newtown
Newtown is about 5 miles north-west of Waterlooville, in Hampshire. People in Newtown book us for all sorts of reasons, but it always starts the same way: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. Newtown is one of 683 places in Hampshire we cover. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 11 miles away.
If a church like Church of the Holy Trinity is running a Christmas fair, a chip van is a welcome sight on a cold evening. For colleagues travelling by train, Portchester station is about 4.4 miles away.
We serve Christmas parties across PO17. From Church Road, Hundred Acres Road and Ingoldfield Lane or a nearby road, we can park up and fry there. Nearby, we also serve Christmas parties in Southend (1 mile north-east), Soberton Heath (1 mile north), Hoe Gate (1 mile east), Hipley (1 mile south-east) and Woodend (1 mile north-west). We also serve nearby towns such as Winchester (13 miles north-west), Gosport (8 miles south), Havant (7 miles south-east), Eastleigh (10 miles west), Fareham (5 miles south-west) and Horndean (5 miles east).

- Local pubs include The Bold Forester Public House (1 mile north-west)
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
About the food

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Newtown
Is Newtown too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Which station is closest to Newtown?
The closest is Portchester station, roughly 4.4 miles away.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
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.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
When should we book for December?
Very early. Fridays in December book up first.
How much does a fish and chip van for your Christmas party cost in Newtown?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your Christmas party and we’ll send a quote.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Confirm allergies by email
- Ensure the van and queue are well lit
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
Serving early, before the drinks flow, is often wise.
A bit of festive music by the van helps.
For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
