About our Christmas party fish and chips in Blackstone
Fish and chips is food everyone enjoys, which makes it a safe choice for a mixed team. We serve cod and chips, pie and chips and gravy, and typical bookings are for end-of-year club parties and festive family gatherings.
In a small place like Blackstone, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. Everything is fried fresh at your Christmas party, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

What affects the price in Blackstone
There’s nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- How far we travel
- How many people are eating
- Access and parking
- The menu and how many choices
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
These details help us quote quickly:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The address or venue name
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. When you are ready, use our quote form.
How the day works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. Sunset in Blackstone in late December is about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- Send us your December date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get an access check and a clear quote.
- We plan a lit, sheltered spot for the van and queue.
- On the day we set up and fry fresh at the agreed time.
- We pack up when service ends and leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Clear the route for the van
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Name one person we can call on the day

Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Blackstone in December: what to know
Blackstone is about 5 miles west of Burgess Hill, in West Sussex. Tell us where your Christmas party in Blackstone will be, and we will plan access and set-up. Blackstone is one of 371 places in West Sussex where we bring the van. Our bookings stretch from Blackstone to Brighton (about 8 miles away).
A Christmas fair at The Parish Church of St Bartholomew is just the kind of event a chip van suits. Blackstone is within about 6 miles of the South Downs National Park, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route.

Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- A spot near your guests
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A clear area by the serving hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
