About our Christmas party fish and chips in Roughdown
December dates book up early, so ask as soon as you know yours. Whether it’s depot Christmas treats and office Christmas parties, we can cook gravy, curry sauce and cod and chips and more.
For a Christmas party near Roughdown, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. Everything is fried fresh at your Christmas party, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.
Diets, allergies and planning
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Book as early as possible for December
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
We park somewhere lit and get the fryers hot.
Crackers on the tables finish it off.
Space, access and the venue
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Confirmation that the van can park there
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Roughdown questions
Is Roughdown too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you serve near the sea around Roughdown?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Hampshire. See all areas.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Children usually love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
When do Christmas bookings fill up?
As early as possible. Fridays in December book up first.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss. An afternoon Christmas party in Roughdown can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 4:00pm; light the path to the van.

Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
Roughdown in December: what to know
Roughdown is about 3 miles south of Hythe, in Hampshire. For Christmas parties in Roughdown, we plan around your venue and timings: a quote, a parking spot and fresh frying on the day. We cover all 683 towns and villages in Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. We serve events right across the region, from Roughdown to Southampton (about 7 miles away).
PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as Blackfield Primary School, suit a chip van. If a church like The Good Shepherd is running a Christmas fair, a chip van is a welcome sight on a cold evening. Roughdown is within about 3 miles of the New Forest National Park, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route. With the sea within about 5 miles, December breezes can be cold.
Wherever your Christmas party is in SO45, we can bring the van to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Close by, we cover Christmas parties in Holbury (1 mile north), Blackfield (1 mile east), Little Holbury (1 mile north), Langley (1 mile south-east) and Hardley (1 mile north). Further out, we also take the van to Gosport (10 miles east), Eastleigh (10 miles north), Fareham (9 miles east), Totton (9 miles north-west), Chandler's Ford (11 miles north) and Hedge End (8 miles north-east).
Well-known places in the area include Beaulieu Abbey And Display Of Monastic Life (2.9 miles west) and Calshot Castle (3.5 miles east). The countryside around Roughdown includes Mercury Marshes.
- Local schools include The New Forest Academy (1.2 miles north)

Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
