Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Beckley

For a Christmas party near Beckley, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are frequently soft. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

How it works
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. In December, it is dark in Beckley by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Getting ready for the day

Beckley questions
What about events near the coast?
Yes. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
What’s the nearest station to Beckley?
The closest is Winchelsea station, roughly 4.4 miles away.
Can the van come to Beckley?
We do. We serve events in Beckley and across East Sussex. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
Yes, if there’s a suitable spot for the van and the site allows it.
Which areas do you serve?
