Fresh fish and chips in Upper Hale
How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Upper Hale
For a family gathering over Christmas, the van can come to you, if the date suits. On the menu are haddock and chips, cod and chips and curry sauce, and typical bookings are for festive open days and club and society Christmas socials.
Around Upper Hale, Christmas parties are often at home, the village hall or a club. We need firm ground and some light. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.
Working with your venue
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Upper Hale questions
Can the van park in Weybourne LNR?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Upper Hale?
The closest is Farnham station, roughly 1.6 miles away.
How much does a fish and chip van for your Christmas party cost in Upper Hale?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your Christmas party and we’ll send a quote.
What time should the van serve at a Christmas party?
Early in the evening typically works best, before the drinks really flow. For lunchtime, we will work to your break.
Can you serve in the cold?
The van copes fine. Plan cover and lighting for the queue.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
Yes, with a level spot such as a car park and the site’s agreement.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Food your guests will love
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Hog roasts are a Christmas favourite, but it’s pork only. A van offers fish, sausages and pies. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
