Christmas party fish and chips in Alfriston, fried fresh
The cooking is inside the van, so the weather does not stop service. Whether it’s christmas markets and fairs and depot Christmas treats, we can cook sausage and chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips for your guests.
For a Christmas party near Alfriston, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are often soft. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

Common questions in Alfriston
What’s the nearest station to Alfriston?
The closest is Berwick (Sussex) station, roughly 2.2 miles away.
Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
When should we eat?
At the time you choose. Remember it is dark by about 4pm in December.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
How the day works
You will know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. Plan your Christmas party in Alfriston around the dark: the light goes at about 3:55pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- We start with a few details about your Christmas party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
