Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Highleigh
Can you serve near the sea around Highleigh?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Which station is closest to Highleigh?
Chichester station, about 3.9 miles north of the centre.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Do you do work Christmas parties?
Yes, with a level spot such as a car park and the site’s agreement.
When should we eat?
Whenever suits your party. Remember it’s dark by about 4pm in December.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.

Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Any minimum charge
- Distance and any road charges
- How many people are eating
- Parking and the way in
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

- Roughly how many people, including children
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The date and when you’d like to eat

Working with your venue
Hosting at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Keep the queue dry
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Plan lighting near the hatch
- Have a back-up for special diets
Keep the walk from the door to the van short, so nobody is out in the cold for long.
Fairy lights around the van make it part of the decorations.

- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
