A bit of festive music by the van helps.
How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Stockbridge
It works for teams who can’t all leave at once, because service can be planned in waves. Typical bookings include work Christmas parties and depot Christmas treats, serving sausage and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
For a Christmas party near Stockbridge, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are often soft. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there is pie and chips.
Where the van can park in Stockbridge
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Lighting nearby for evening events
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
From the hatch
- Curry sauce
- Cod and chips
- Pie and chips
- Gravy
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Stockbridge: your questions answered
Is Stockbridge too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Stockbridge close to London?
About 66 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.

What happens on the day
We do not cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. In December, it’s dark in Stockbridge by about 4:00pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- It starts with your date, site and numbers.
- We check the spot for the van and send a quote.
- Arrival time and a well-lit spot are agreed in advance.
- We park up, heat the fryers and serve hot food on a cold day.
- We clear our spot and head off.
How to prepare
- Make sure the van can get in
- Tell us when you want to eat
