Christmas party fish and chips in Regents Park, fried fresh
The Christmas season is short and busy, so it pays to ask early. Popular choices include gravy, mushy peas and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for festive open days and school and PTA Christmas fairs.
Around Regents Park, Christmas parties are frequently at home, the village hall or a club. We need firm ground and some light. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Christmas catering near Regents Park
Regents Park is about 2 miles west of Southampton, in Southampton. Whether your Christmas party is in the middle of Regents Park or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. We take the van to 40 places across Southampton, from the larger towns to small villages.
Christmas fairs at a church such as Church of the Holy Trinity can book the van as a hot-food stall. A winter fair at a school like Regents Park Community College gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. Regents Park is within about 7 miles of the New Forest National Park; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning. The coast is within about 3 miles of Regents Park, and winter sea winds can be bitter, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
For Christmas parties in SO15, SO16 and SO17, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many guests. From May Road, Mill Road and York Road or a nearby road, we can park up and fry there. Main roads around Regents Park include the A33 and A3057, which makes travel to your Christmas party easy.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
For event organisers in Regents Park
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Having the party at home? Send us a picture of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.

Regents Park: your questions answered
Could you trade in St James' Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first.
Can you serve near the sea around Regents Park?
Yes. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
How much does a fish and chip van for your Christmas party cost in Regents Park?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Takeaway for a whole office arrives late and cold. The van fries on site. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.
