About our Christmas party fish and chips in Winchfield
Fish and chips is food everyone enjoys, which makes it a safe choice for a mixed team. Whether it’s office Christmas parties and festive family gatherings, we’ll put together a menu of curry sauce, cod and chips and mushy peas.
For a Christmas party near Winchfield, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are frequently soft. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
About the food
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
The process
Service is quick: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. Afterwards we pack up. December in Winchfield means early darkness: the light goes at about 3:55pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Plan where the queue will stand

Winchfield station, in Winchfield itself.
Is Winchfield too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

We cook inside the van, so the weather doesn’t stop us. Plan a short, lit route from the door to the hatch.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
Do you do work Christmas parties?
Yes, if there’s a suitable spot for the van and the site allows it.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.

- Collect allergies in advance
- Agree the spot with the venue
