What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Access and parking
- The number of meals
- How far we travel
- The day of the week
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The venue or postcode
- Where the van would park
- Dietary needs, with numbers
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can use our quote form.
About our Christmas party fish and chips in Thruxton
It works for teams who can’t all leave at once, because service can be planned in waves. Popular choices include cod and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips, and we are often booked for festive open days and staff Christmas parties.
In winter near Thruxton, we need firm ground and light. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the service time and the menu.
A chip van compared with other options
For something other than turkey, a fish and chip van is a great choice in Thruxton. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
What you get with us
- Events in Thruxton and across Hampshire
- All the chip-shop extras
- Something for guests to gather round

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
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.

Questions from Thruxton
Do you come out to small places like Thruxton?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What’s the nearest station to Thruxton?
The closest is Grateley station, roughly 3.2 miles away.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
When should we eat?
Food early on is usually wise, before the drinks really flow. For a lunch, tell us your break time.
Organising for someone else?
Hosting at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Space, access and the venue
Every site is different, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Access wide and high enough for the van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
How the day works
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. In December, it’s dark in Thruxton by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Plan where the queue will stand
