A chip van near Heathfield
Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
About our Christmas party fish and chips in Heathfield
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons suit a chip van too, serving hot food on a chilly evening. Popular choices include sausage and chips, haddock and chips and gravy, and we’re regularly asked to cater festive open days and christmas lunches for shift teams.
Around Heathfield, Christmas parties are frequently at home, the village hall or a club. 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.

FAQs for Heathfield
Which station is closest to Heathfield?

We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
