Christmas party fish and chips for Oakhanger events
About our Christmas party fish and chips in Oakhanger
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons suit a chip van too, with hot food for visitors in the cold. Popular choices include pie and chips, curry sauce and cod and chips, and we’re frequently booked for school and PTA Christmas fairs and christmas markets and fairs.
Near Oakhanger, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.
Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A clear area by the serving hatch
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
From the hatch
- Gravy
- Mushy peas
- Pie and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Curry sauce
Oakhanger: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Oakhanger?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Oakhanger close to London?
Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
What time should the van serve at a Christmas party?
Early in the evening generally works best, before the drinks really flow. For lunchtime, we will work to your break.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
Do you cover Oakhanger?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Oakhanger and across Hampshire. Send us your date to check availability.
Will the weather be a problem?
The fryers are inside the van, so we carry on. Keep the van close to the door.

How it works
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can get on with your Christmas party in Oakhanger. At about 4:00pm in late December, it gets dark in Oakhanger; light the path to the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day

Oakhanger in December: what to know
Oakhanger is about 4 miles south-east of Alton, in Hampshire. Give us the address of your Christmas party in Oakhanger, and we will plan the route and the parking spot. Oakhanger is one of 683 places in Hampshire where we bring the van. Our bookings stretch from Oakhanger to Guildford (17 miles away).
If you are organising a Christmas fair for a school like Mill Chase Academy, hot fish and chips goes down well. For anyone getting the train home after the party, the closest railway station is Alton station, roughly 3.8 miles north-west of the centre. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about 8 miles of Oakhanger, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route.
This part of Hampshire takes in GU35, and we can serve your Christmas party anywhere in it. For Christmas parties just outside Oakhanger, we cover Hartley Mauditt (2 miles west), East Worldham (2 miles north-west), Wyck (3 miles north), Upper Farringdon (3 miles west) and Neatham (4 miles north-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Basingstoke (13 miles north-west), Farnborough (14 miles north-east), Fleet (11 miles north), Horndean (15 miles south), Aldershot (11 miles north-east) and Alton (4 miles north-west).
Other landmarks nearby include The Romany Museum (2.1 miles south-west) and Chase Community Hospital (1.9 miles east). Within reach you’ll find Selborne Hill and Deadwater Valley.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

Mushy peas
