Christmas party fish and chips in High Brooms, fried fresh
The van parks outside and serves hot food. Popular choices include sausage and chips, haddock and chips and curry sauce, and we’re often booked for new Year parties and christmas markets and fairs.
In High Brooms, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. We need firm ground and some light. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
A cold buffet does not feel festive. Hot food from the van does. The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Why book our van in High Brooms
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- Classic food your guests already know
- All the chip-shop extras
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Keep the queue dry
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically

A gazebo or covered doorway near the hatch helps on a wet night.
Hot drinks alongside make it even better.
How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How far we travel
- How long we serve
- The menu and how many choices
- The date and time of year
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us
The more we know about your Christmas party, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Where the event is
- Your date and serving time
- A picture of the parking spot
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
Send us the date, the address or TN2 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and you’ll get a clear price. Just use our quote form.
Questions from High Brooms
Which station is closest to High Brooms?
High Brooms station, in High Brooms itself.
Can the van go to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
How early do Christmas dates go?
Ideally in the summer or early autumn.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
Will the weather be a problem?
Not for the cooking. Plan cover and lighting for the queue.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is typically simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.

Before you choose a spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Access wide and high enough for the van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we serve
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Curry sauce
- Pie and chips
- Cod and chips
- Gravy
The process
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Sunset in High Brooms in late December is about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- First, tell us about your Christmas party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
