Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Tye
For a family gathering over Christmas, the van can come to you, if the date suits. Popular choices include pie and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips, and we’re frequently booked for staff Christmas parties and festive family gatherings.
Near Tye, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
What the van needs
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A short walk from the party
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
On the menu in Tye
- Curry sauce
- Gravy
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Pie and chips
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Ensure the van and queue are well lit
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
- Let us know about coeliac disease
Send people out in groups in the cold.
Festive lights by the van look great.
Tye in December: what to know
Tye is about 3 miles south of Havant, in Hampshire. Give us the address of your Christmas party in Tye, and we’ll plan access and set-up before the day. Tye is one of 683 places in Hampshire we cover. Our bookings stretch from Tye to Southampton (about 20 miles away).
A winter fair at a school like Mill Rythe Junior School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. If people are coming by rail, Emsworth station is about 2.6 miles away. The coast is within about 3 miles of Tye, and winter sea winds can be bitter, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
This part of Hampshire takes in PO11. Streets in the area include Gutner Lane and Copse Lane, and the van can serve a Christmas party on any of them with a suitable parking spot. Nearby, we also serve Christmas parties in North Hayling (1 mile north), Northney (1 mile north), Stoke (1 mile west), Thorney Island (1 mile north-east) and Warblington (2 miles north). We also serve nearby towns such as Gosport (8 miles west), Havant (3 miles north), Fareham (11 miles west), Horndean (7 miles north), Waterlooville (6 miles north-west) and Petersfield (13 miles north).
Other landmarks nearby include Havant War Memorial Hospital (2.9 miles north-west) and Emsworth Museum (2.4 miles north). The countryside around Tye includes Hayling Billy.
- Local schools include The Hayling College (1.5 miles south-west)
- Pubs nearby include The Maypole pub (1 mile south-west)

How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- How long we serve
- Numbers
- The day of the week
- Travel, tolls and road charges
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The date and time of the event
- Where the van would park
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Dietary needs, with numbers
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you’re ready, send us your details through our quote form.

Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it’s on the menu.
Perfect for your Christmas party in Tye
It suits shift teams who cannot all go out together.
A fish and chip van suits almost any gathering. In Tye, people book us for events such as:
- Christmas markets and fairs
- Office Christmas parties
- Warehouse and depot Christmas lunches
- Christmas customer days
If a church like Church of St Peter is running a Christmas fair, a chip van is a welcome sight on a cold evening.

The process
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we’ll adjust start times and pace. Sunset in Tye in late December is about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- You tell us the date, the venue or site, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check access and lighting at the spot and send a price.
- We agree arrival, lighting and the serving spot with you or the venue.
- We park up, heat the fryers and serve hot food on a cold day.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Get permission for the van from the venue

Tye questions
Can the van park in Eames Farm?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Tye?
The closest is Emsworth station, roughly 2.6 miles away.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
What if it’s raining or freezing?
Not for the cooking. Plan cover and lighting for the queue.
What time should the van serve at a Christmas party?
At the time you choose. Plan lighting, as it’s dark early.
When should we book for December?
As early as possible. Fridays in December book up first.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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.
