How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Warsash
December bookings are planned for the dark and the cold: a lit, sheltered spot, and service timed so people aren’t outside for long. Popular choices include curry sauce, pie and chips and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for PTA Christmas events and christmas family parties.
At a festive party in Warsash, the van on the drive goes down well. Everything is fried fresh at your Christmas party, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
FAQs for Warsash
Can the van go to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Can you serve near the sea around Warsash?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
When should we eat?
At the time you choose. Remember it is dark by about 4pm in December.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.
Space, access and the venue
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A short walk from the party
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
Popular choices
- Sausage and chips
- Gravy
- Pie and chips
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
- Curry sauce
- Haddock and chips
How it works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your guests can wander over to the hatch once service starts. By about 4:00pm in late December, it is dark in Warsash; choose a lit spot near the door for the van, and keep the walk short.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.

Working with your venue
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Takeaway for a whole office arrives late and cold. The van fries on site. 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. We set everything out in your quote.

About the food
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- Any minimum charge
- How many people are eating
- Distance and any road charges
- How long we serve
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your Christmas party, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the van would park
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
