Christmas party fish and chips in High Cross, fried fresh
For a family gathering over Christmas, the van can come to you. We serve sausage and chips, gravy and cod and chips, and we are often booked for end-of-year customer events and club and society Christmas socials.
In a small place like High Cross, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do.
Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Plan cover for the queue
Plan cover for the queue.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.

FAQs for High Cross
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is High Cross 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.
How early do Christmas dates go?
Very early. December weekends and Fridays are the first to go.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Will the weather be a problem?
We cook inside the van, so the weather does not stop us. Plan a short, lit route from the door to the hatch.
Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it’s on the menu.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
How the day works
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. An afternoon Christmas party in High Cross can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 4:00pm, so put the van where there is good light.

Planning help
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
What affects the price in High Cross
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Distance and any road charges
- How easy the site is to reach
- The length of service
- Whether a minimum applies
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The date and time of the event
- A photo of the parking spot
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The address or venue name

Where the van can park in High Cross
