Planning a Christmas party in Wildhern
Wildhern is about 3 miles north of Andover, in Hampshire. People in Wildhern book us for all sorts of reasons, but the plan is always the same: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. Wildhern is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Wildhern to Southampton (24 miles away).

How the day works

Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it is hot, crisp and generous.
A chip van compared with other options
A hog roast is popular at Christmas, but it’s one dish. A van offers fish, sausages and pies. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
Why book our van in Wildhern
- Something for guests to gather round
- No kitchen needed
- A clear quote before you book
- Quick service from the hatch
See our pricing or the cost guide.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Send round an allergy question
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
We arrive in good time and set up in a lit spot.
Festive lights by the van look great.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Space, access and the venue
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Wildhern
Which station is closest to Wildhern?
Andover station, about 3.1 miles south of the centre.
How far is Wildhern from London?
About 63 miles from central London, and well within our area.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Can the van park on grass?
Generally, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
How early do Christmas dates go?
Very early. December weekends and Fridays are the first to go.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
