Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
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 nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
Christmas catering near Brightling
Brightling is about 9 miles north of Bexhill-on-Sea, in East Sussex. Whether your Christmas party is in the middle of Brightling or on the outskirts, the service works the same way: fresh frying, hot food from the hatch and a clear price. We take the van to 289 places across East Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Brightling to Brighton (25 miles away).
For colleagues travelling by train, Robertsbridge station is about 3.3 miles away. Brightling is within about 3 miles of the High Weald National Landscape, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route.
Here we cover the TN32 postcode area, so your Christmas party can be anywhere in it. Local streets include The Street and Rectory Hill; a Christmas party on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. Nearby, we also serve Christmas parties in Hollingrove (1 mile east), Twelve Oaks (1 mile south), Oxley's Green (1 mile north-east), Netherfield (3 miles south-east) and Penhurst (3 miles south).

Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Collect allergies in advance
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
A gazebo or covered doorway near the hatch helps on a wet night.
A bit of festive music by the van helps.
