How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Poulner
The Christmas season is short and busy, so it pays to ask early. On the menu are sausage and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater depot Christmas treats and christmas markets and fairs.
In Poulner, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. The van needs a lit spot and a firm surface. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the service time and the menu.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Plan lighting near the hatch
- Check the van can park on site
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- December Fridays go first: book early
We park somewhere lit and get the fryers hot before the party starts.
Hot drinks alongside make it even better.

Poulner is one of 683 places in Hampshire where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Poulner to Southampton (about 17 miles away).

Poulner questions
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.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Hampshire. See all areas.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
Do you come to Poulner?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Poulner and across Hampshire. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and children love it.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A big takeaway order rarely arrives hot. A van cooks on the spot. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.
Why us?
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Everything cooked to order at your event
