Christmas party fish and chips in Ringwood, fried fresh
We plan winter events around the dark and the weather: a well-lit spot for the van and the queue, and service timed so people aren’t outside for long. We’re frequently asked to cater school and PTA Christmas fairs and christmas fairs and lights switch-ons, with sausage and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas.
Around Ringwood, Christmas parties are often at home, the village hall or a club. The van needs a lit spot and a firm surface. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Common questions in Ringwood
Can the van go to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Could you trade in Avon Heath Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
When should we eat?
Whenever suits your party. Plan lighting, as it is dark early.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes, it’s a popular stall. Send us the details.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Do you come to Ringwood?
We do. We serve events in Ringwood and across Hampshire. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Do you do work Christmas parties?
We do. Send us your date and site details as early as you can.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
The menu, dish by dish
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
What happens on the day
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. It gets dark in Ringwood by about 4:05pm at Christmas; choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Tell us when you want to eat
Ask for a quote

Planning help
Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Ensure the van and queue are well lit
- Plan cover for the queue
For a work party, food early in the evening normally works best.
Fairy lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
A Christmas party at a venue costs more per head. A van can be better value. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
