What else we do in North Gorley
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
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.
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
For something other than turkey, a fish and chip van is a great choice. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.
What you get with us
- Quick service from the hatch
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. Sunset in North Gorley in late December is about 4:05pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- Send us your December date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the spot for the van and send a quote.
- We plan a lit, sheltered spot for the van and queue.
- We cook to order and serve from the hatch on time.
- We clear our spot and head off.
Before we arrive

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in North Gorley
Do you come out to small places like North Gorley?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
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 will follow the site rules.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
When should we eat?
Early in the evening typically works best. For a lunch, tell us your break time.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Planners, venues and businesses
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Hosting at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
What affects the price in North Gorley

- The menu and how many choices
