A chip van near Felbridge

Takeaway run or book a van?

You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.

Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.

Christmas party fish and chips in Felbridge, fried fresh

December bookings are planned for the dark and the cold: a lit, sheltered spot, and a quick, organised service. For christmas markets and fairs and warehouse and depot Christmas lunches, we will put together a menu of haddock and chips, pie and chips and gravy for your guests.

Near Felbridge, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Working with your venue

Organising a club, school or community event in Felbridge? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.

For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

Planning a Christmas party in Felbridge

Felbridge is about 2 miles north-west of East Grinstead, in West Sussex. Across the RH19 area, we can fry fresh for your guests. We serve all 371 towns and villages across West Sussex. Our bookings stretch from Felbridge to Brighton (about 21 miles away).

A winter fair at a school like Felbridge Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. If people are coming by rail, East Grinstead station is about 1.6 miles away. Felbridge is within about 5 miles of the High Weald National Landscape; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.

This part of West Sussex takes in RH19, and we can serve your Christmas party anywhere in it. We can serve a Christmas party on streets such as London Road, Mciver Close and Cherry Way or the roads around them, wherever the van can park. Nearby, we also serve Christmas parties in Furnace Wood (1 mile west), Domewood (1 mile west), Snow Hill (2 miles west), Newchapel (2 miles north) and Crawley Down (2 miles south-west). Further out, we also take the van to Crawley (6 miles west), Horsham (13 miles south-west), Haywards Heath (10 miles south), Burgess Hill (13 miles south), Broadfield (7 miles south-west) and Bewbush (8 miles west).

A closer look at the menu

Cod and chips

Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.

Sausage and chips

Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and it’s a favourite with children.

A chip van compared with other options

For a Christmas party that feels a bit different, a fish and chip van is a great choice. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.

Planning the van’s spot

Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. Generally, we look for:

A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
The site’s agreement to a catering van
A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn

If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

How it works

The first sign we’ve arrived is typically the smell, about the time the first guests wander across. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. Sunset in Felbridge in late December is about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
