Planning a Christmas party in South Weirs
South Weirs is about 4 miles north-west of Lymington, in Hampshire. From the centre of South Weirs to the outskirts, the service works the same way: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. South Weirs is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire we cover. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 11 miles away.
For anyone getting the train home after the party, the closest railway station is Brockenhurst station, roughly 0.9 miles east of the centre. If a church like Church of St Saviour is running a Christmas fair, a chip van is a welcome sight on a cold evening. South Weirs is within about a mile of the New Forest National Park; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning. With the sea within about 5 miles, December breezes can be cold, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
We cover Christmas parties in every part of SO42 and the streets around it. If your venue is just outside South Weirs, we also cover Brockenhurst (1 mile north-east), Setley (1 mile east), Balmerlawn (2 miles north-east), Emery Down (4 miles north) and Lyndhurst (4 miles north). Further out, we also take the van to Eastleigh (15 miles north-east), Totton (8 miles north-east), Chandler's Ford (15 miles north-east), Hedge End (15 miles north-east), Lymington (4 miles south-east) and Romsey (13 miles north).
A little further out are Lymington New Forest Hospital (3.7 miles south-east).

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
- 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
