Christmas party fish and chips in North Hayling, cooked to order
The cooking is inside the van, so rain and cold don’t stop us. We’re often asked to cater PTA Christmas events and christmas fairs and lights switch-ons, with mushy peas, curry sauce and pie and chips.
For a Christmas party near North Hayling, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are often soft. Everything is fried fresh at your Christmas party, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.
FAQs for North Hayling
Could you trade in Eames Farm?

Planning a Christmas party in North Hayling
North Hayling is about 3 miles south of Havant, in Hampshire. People in North Hayling book us for all sorts of reasons, but the plan is always the same: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. We take the van to all 683 towns and villages across Hampshire. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 20 miles away.
Train travellers will want to know that the closest railway station is Warblington station, roughly 2.1 miles north of the centre. Christmas fairs at a church such as Church of St Peter can book the van as a hot-food stall. The coast is within about 4 miles of North Hayling, and winter sea winds can be bitter, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Anywhere in PO11, we can bring the van to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Streets in the area include Church Lane, St Peter's Road and St Peter's Avenue, and the van can serve a Christmas party on any of them with a suitable parking spot. For Christmas parties just outside North Hayling, we cover Northney (1 mile north), Tye (1 mile south), Stoke (1 mile west), Warblington (1 mile north) and Langstone (1 mile north-west). Further out, we also take the van to Gosport (8 miles west), Havant (3 miles north), Fareham (10 miles west), Horndean (6 miles north), Waterlooville (5 miles north-west) and Petersfield (13 miles north).
Well-known places in the area include Havant War Memorial Hospital (2.4 miles north-west) and Warblington Castle (1.5 miles north). Open spaces near North Hayling include Hayling Billy.
How it works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. In December, it’s dark in North Hayling by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
How to prepare
- Share the timings for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
For planners, venues and organisers
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and it’s a favourite with children.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- Distance and any road charges
- The menu and how many choices
- The length of service
- Any minimum charge
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
What to tell us
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Where the van would park
- A photo of the space and the way in
- The venue or postcode
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.

Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
A cold buffet in December is not much of a treat. Hot fish and chips is. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
