A chip van near Bolney
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
About our Christmas party fish and chips in Bolney
A fish and chip van in the car park or outside the venue gives everyone a hot meal, without anyone leaving site. On the menu are mushy peas, haddock and chips and gravy, and typical bookings are for new Year parties and end-of-year club parties.
For a Christmas party near Bolney, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are frequently soft. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. By about 3:55pm in late December, it is dark in Bolney; choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
