About the food
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it is on the menu.
Planning a Christmas party in Cock Marling
Cock Marling is about 7 miles north-east of Hastings, in East Sussex. From the centre of Cock Marling to the outskirts, we offer the same service: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. Cock Marling is one of 289 places in East Sussex we cover. Our bookings stretch from Cock Marling to Canterbury (29 miles away).
The coast is within about 3 miles of Cock Marling, and winter sea winds can be bitter, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Christmas parties anywhere in TN31 start with a parking spot for the van. Other places close to Cock Marling we cover include Udimore (1 mile west), Icklesham (2 miles south), Broad Street (2 miles south-west), Broadland Row (2 miles west) and Peasmarsh (2 miles north). Within a short drive, we also cover Hastings (7 miles south-west), Bexhill-on-Sea (11 miles south-west), St Leonards (8 miles south-west), Hastings Old Town (7 miles south-west), Belmont (7 miles south-west) and Hollington (7 miles south-west).

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 do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.

How it works
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss. In December, it’s dark in Cock Marling by 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.
