Fresh fish and chips in West Wellow
How it works
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Your guests can wander over to the hatch once service starts. At about 4:00pm in late December, it gets dark in West Wellow, so put the van where there is good light.
- Send us your December date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check access and lighting at the spot and send a price.
- We plan a lit, sheltered spot for the van and queue.
- On the day we set up and fry fresh at the agreed time.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Before we arrive
- Let us know the serving time
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Christmas party fish and chips in West Wellow, cooked to order
A Christmas party doesn’t have to mean another turkey dinner. Fish and chips from the van is warming, generous and a bit different. Popular choices include sausage and chips, gravy and mushy peas, and we are often booked for school and PTA Christmas fairs and office Christmas parties.
For a Christmas party near West Wellow, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are often soft. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in West Wellow
Do you come to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is West Wellow too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes. Tell us the date and pitch.
What time should the van serve at a Christmas party?
Food early on is usually wise, before the drinks really flow. For lunchtime, we’ll work to your break.
When should we book for December?
As soon as you have a date.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Takeaway for a whole office arrives late and cold. The van fries on site. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
