How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- How long we serve
- How far we travel
- Parking and the way in
- The date and time of year
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The date and time of the event
- A photo of the space and the way in
Still finalising the details? No problem: tell us the basics about your Christmas party, and we’ll quote on that. Start when you are ready: use our quote form.
Christmas party fish and chips in Birchett's Green, fried fresh
It works for teams who cannot all leave at once, with service timed to each group. We are frequently asked to cater festive open days and festive gatherings after Christmas, with pie and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
Near Birchett's Green, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Stonegate station, about 2.6 miles south of the centre.
Is Birchett's Green close to London?
About 37 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.

Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.

Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.

How early do Christmas dates go?
As soon as you have a date.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.

Birchett's Green is one of 289 towns and villages in East Sussex we cover. You can also see our page for Brighton, about 27 miles away.
PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as Uplands Community College, suit a chip van. If people are coming by rail, the closest railway station is Stonegate station, roughly 2.6 miles south of the centre. The High Weald National Landscape is within about 2 miles of Birchett's Green; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.
For Christmas parties in TN5, we just need to know where the van can park. If your venue is just outside Birchett's Green, we also cover Wallcrouch (1 mile south), Shover's Green (1 mile south-west), Cousley Wood (2 miles north-west), Pell Green (2 miles north-west) and Stonegate (2 miles south). Within a short drive, we also cover Hastings (15 miles south-east), Bexhill-on-Sea (15 miles south), Hailsham (14 miles south), Crowborough (9 miles west), Uckfield (13 miles south-west) and Heathfield (8 miles south-west).

Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Flag any coeliac guests
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Send round an allergy question
Send people out in groups in the cold.
Hot drinks alongside make it even better.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Step by step
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss. Plan your Christmas party in Birchett's Green around the dark: the light goes at about 3:55pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Share the timings for the day

For event organisers in Birchett's Green
