Christmas party fish and chips in Brighton Hill, fried fresh
December bookings are planned for the dark and the cold: a well-lit spot for the van and the queue, and service timed so people are not outside for long. We are often asked to cater christmas fairs at schools and festive gatherings after Christmas, serving sausage and chips, pie and chips and curry sauce.
In Brighton Hill, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. We need firm ground and some light. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.
Questions from Brighton Hill
How far is Brighton Hill from London?
Roughly 47 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can the van park in Eastrop Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Will the weather be a problem?
The fryers are inside the van, so we carry on. Plan a short, lit route from the door to the hatch.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Can the van come to Brighton Hill?
We do. Brighton Hill is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
When should we eat?
At the time you choose. Plan lighting, as it’s dark early.

Before you choose a spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Takeaway run or book a van?
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.

A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Occasions we serve in Brighton Hill
It suits shift teams who can’t all go out together.
Whatever brings people together, fish and chips from the hatch goes down well. We regularly serve:
- Festive open days
- Boxing Day and New Year gatherings
- Christmas lunches for shift teams
- Christmas fairs at schools
PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as Brighton Hill Community School, suit a chip van.
