Party fish and chip van for St Cross events
Party fish and chip van for your party in St Cross
Everything is cooked as people come up, rather than sitting on a buffet table all afternoon. Whether it is neighbourhood get-togethers and retirement parties, we’ll put together a menu of haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips and more.
For a party in St Cross, home is often the best venue. Let us know how the van reaches the house, and we’ll bring everything else. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
Diets, allergies and planning
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
- Flag any coeliac guests
- A photo of the parking spot helps
- Have a back-up for special diets
It’s worth telling the neighbours, or invite them.
Finish with the birthday cake.
What the van needs
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- A short walk from the party
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

St Cross parties: what to know
St Cross is about 1 mile south of Winchester, in Hampshire. Tell us where your party in St Cross will be, and we’ll plan the route and the parking spot before the day. We take the van to 683 places in Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from St Cross to Southampton (about 10 miles away).
Guests arriving by train should know that Winchester station is about 1.3 miles away. A green space like St. Cross Park is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, typically the council’s.

Other places close to St Cross we cover include Badger Farm (1 mile west), Stanmore (1 mile north-west), Winchester (1 mile north), Bar End (1 mile east) and Highcliffe (1 mile north-east).

About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A hog roast is one dish, while a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.
What you get with us
- All the chip-shop extras
- Hot food handed straight over
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
See our prices page and the cost guide.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Access and parking
- Numbers
- Cod, haddock or both
- The date and time of year
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
What we need to know
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Where the event is
- A photo of the space and the way in
- The date and time of the event
- Rough numbers for adults and children
Each quote is put together for your party. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.

How it works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. At midsummer, it’s light in St Cross until about 9:25pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Send us the date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check where the van can park and send a price.
- On the day we arrive, park up and heat the fryers.
- We serve hot from the hatch while the party carries on.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the drive tidy.
How to prepare
- Clear the route for the van
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
