If a church like The Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin is running a Christmas fair, a chip van is a welcome sight on a cold evening. PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as Ringmer Primary and Nursery School, suit a chip van. The South Downs National Park is within about 4 miles of Ashton Green; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.

Food your guests will love
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Plan lighting near the hatch
- Check the van can park on site
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
Stagger groups so the queue stays short in the cold.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.
How it works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. An afternoon Christmas party in Ashton Green can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 3:55pm; light the path to the van.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive
- Clear the route for the van
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A big takeaway order rarely arrives hot. The van fries on site. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
What you get with us
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- A clear quote before booking
- Something for guests to gather round
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The day of the week
- Numbers
- Any minimum charge
- The menu and how many choices
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is often the best value.
What to tell us
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Where the event is
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Where you’d like the van to go
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
