Christmas party fish and chips for Framfield events
Planning the van’s spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Framfield
The Christmas season is short and busy, so it pays to ask early. Popular choices include gravy, sausage and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater office Christmas parties and christmas family parties.
In winter near Framfield, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. Everything is fried fresh at your Christmas party, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Should I sort the food myself?
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.
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.
Questions from Framfield
How far is Framfield from London?
Roughly 38 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Framfield too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
Yes, with a level spot such as a car park and the site’s agreement.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
When should we eat?
At the time you choose. Remember it’s dark by about 4pm in December.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Service time
