How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Shedfield
The cooking is inside the van, so the weather does not stop service. Typical bookings include boxing Day and New Year gatherings and warehouse and depot Christmas lunches, with sausage and chips, cod and chips and gravy.
In a small place like Shedfield, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
Shedfield: your questions answered
Is Shedfield close to London?
Roughly 63 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Shedfield?
The closest is Botley station, roughly 2.6 miles away.
Do you cover Shedfield?
We do. We serve events in Shedfield and across Hampshire. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Before you choose a spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A clear area by the serving hatch
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Shedfield in December: what to know
Shedfield is about 4 miles north of Fareham, in Hampshire. We cover Shedfield as standard, so your Christmas party just needs a date, a spot for the van and a serving time. Shedfield is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire we cover. We serve events right across the region, from Shedfield to Southampton (8 miles away).
A Christmas fair at Church of St John is just the kind of event a chip van suits. PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as St John the Baptist Church of England Primary School, suit a chip van.
Wherever your Christmas party is in SO32, we can bring the van to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Your Christmas party could be at a house on High Street, Upper Church Road and Church Road, wherever the van can park.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
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’s crisp.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
