The process
You do not need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your Christmas party. We handle the cooking and serving. At about 3:55pm in late December, it gets dark in Hollingrove; light the path to the van.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
Ask for a quote
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.

Hollingrove in December: what to know
Hollingrove is about 8 miles north of Bexhill-on-Sea, in East Sussex. Whether your Christmas party is in the middle of Hollingrove or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh frying, hot food from the hatch and a clear price. Hollingrove is one of 289 places in East Sussex where we bring the van. You can also see our page for Brighton, about 25 miles away.
If a church like The Parish Church of St Thomas A Becket is running a Christmas fair, a chip van is a welcome sight on a cold evening. Hollingrove is within about 3 miles of the High Weald National Landscape; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.

Streets in the area include Hollingrove Road and Kent Lane, and the van can serve a Christmas party on any of them with a suitable parking spot.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.
What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
Popular choices
- Sausage and chips
