Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Belmont
The van parks outside and serves hot food. Popular choices include cod and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater christmas markets and fairs and school and PTA Christmas fairs.
In Belmont, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. We need firm ground and some light. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

How the day works
We don’t cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. In December, it is dark in Belmont by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- Send us your December date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check access and lighting at the spot and send a price.
- Arrival time and a well-lit spot are agreed in advance.
- We park up, heat the fryers and serve hot food on a cold day.
- We clear our spot and head off.
Before we arrive
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch

Festive bookings around Belmont
Belmont is about 1 mile south-east of Hastings, in East Sussex. Christmas parties in Belmont are planned around your venue and timings: a quote, a parking spot and fresh frying on the day. We take the van to all 289 towns and villages in East Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 31 miles away.
For colleagues travelling by train, the nearest station is Ore station, about 0.5 miles north. Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as Emmanuel Church draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards. With the sea within about a mile, December breezes can be cold, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Anywhere in TN34 and TN35, we can fry fresh for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. That could mean a Christmas party at a home on Crown Lane, Croft Road and Manor Road, as long as there’s somewhere for the van.

Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
Takeaway for a whole office arrives late and cold. A van cooks on the spot. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.

Questions from Belmont
Is Belmont close to London?
About 53 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Belmont?
Ore station, about 0.5 miles north of the centre.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options.
Can the van park on grass?
Normally, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Can the van come to Belmont?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Belmont and across East Sussex. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
When should we eat?
Food early on is typically wise. For a lunch, tell us your break time.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
We arrive in good time and set up in a lit spot before the party starts.
A bit of festive music by the van helps.
Before you choose a spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Flat, firm ground for the van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Popular choices
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
- Curry sauce
- Pie and chips
- Gravy
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
For event organisers in Belmont
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The menu and how many choices
- Numbers
- The length of service
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.

- A picture of where the van would go
- The venue or postcode
- Your date and serving time
