Fresh fish and chips in Ossemsley
How it works
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. December in Ossemsley means early darkness: the light goes at about 4:05pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Christmas party fish and chips in Ossemsley, cooked to order
It works for teams who cannot all leave at once, because service can be planned in waves. On the menu are gravy, cod and chips and curry sauce, and typical bookings are for festive family gatherings and festive open days.
In a small place like Ossemsley, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- The menu and how many choices
- The date and time of year
- The minimum booking
- Numbers
The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Your date and serving time
- The venue or postcode
- Allergies and diets you know about
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can use our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.

Questions from Ossemsley
Do you come 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 work to whatever the site needs.
Which station is closest to Ossemsley?
New Milton station, about 1.7 miles south of the centre.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Typically, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
Yes, if there’s a suitable spot for the van and the site allows it.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options before you book.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
A cold buffet in December isn’t much of a treat. Hot food from the van does. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
