Our Christmas party fish and chips in East Sussex

A chip van is a welcome sight at a Christmas fair, with hot food for visitors in the cold. We are often asked to cater staff Christmas parties and school and PTA Christmas fairs, with gravy, haddock and chips and mushy peas.

It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with frying and serving.

  1. Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
  2. A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
  3. Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
  4. We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
  5. Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

Pricing in East Sussex

A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

Festive bookings in East Sussex

Across East Sussex, festive bookings range from works car parks to village halls. Let us know about the spot and the route. The High Weald National Landscape and the South Downs National Park are within easy reach of places across East Sussex, where some venues have extra rules about vehicles. Around 106 places in East Sussex are close to the coast, where we always think about shelter for the queue.

Eastbourne: If you’re organising a Christmas fair for a school like Stafford Junior School, hot fish and chips goes down well. The A22 and A259 make Eastbourne easy to reach on a dark winter evening. At about 3:55pm in late December, it gets dark in Eastbourne, so put the van where there’s good light.

A fish and chip van or other catering?

Takeaway for a whole office arrives late and cold. A van cooks on the spot.

Comparing caterers

  • How many hours the van serves
  • When final numbers are due
  • Whether there’s a minimum
  • The van’s size and access needs

Planning the van’s spot

We will be honest if a spot will not work, and help find another. The main points are:

  • Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
  • A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
  • Room in front of the hatch for a queue

The menu, dish by dish

Curry sauce

Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce and it’s on the menu.

Mushy peas

Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.

Why a fish and chip van works

Rain or shine, the fryers keep going.

A fish and chip van suits almost any gathering. In East Sussex, people book us for occasions like:

  • Warehouse and depot Christmas lunches
  • Festive open days
  • Family Christmas get-togethers
  • Work Christmas parties

What affects the price in East Sussex

The price comes down to a few factors:

  • How many people are eating
  • Service time
  • Distance and any road charges
  • The date and time of year

Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.

What to tell us

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:

  • The date and when you’d like to eat
  • Where the van would park
  • Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
  • Any dietary needs and allergies

It is easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in East Sussex

Is the food cooked at the event?

Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.

How much is fish and chip van hire?

Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.

What if we only have street parking?

Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.

Will the weather be a problem?

We cook inside the van, so the weather doesn’t stop us. Plan a short, lit route from the door to the hatch.

When do you arrive?

That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.

What does the van need?

Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.

How soon do we need to book?

The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
