Christmas party fish and chips in Hollington, cooked to order
December bookings are planned for the dark and the cold: a lit, sheltered spot, and a quick, organised service. Whether it is christmas fairs at schools and family Christmas get-togethers, we can cook gravy, cod and chips and sausage and chips and more.
In Hollington, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. The van needs a lit spot and a firm surface. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Planners, venues and businesses
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- Let us know about coeliac disease
Serving early, before the drinks flow, is often wise.
Christmas music near the van sets the mood.
Planning the van’s spot
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A short walk from the party
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Hollington in December: what to know
Hollington is about 1 mile north-west of Hastings, in East Sussex. We serve Christmas parties at homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Hollington. We take the van to 289 places across East Sussex. You can also see our page for Brighton, about 30 miles away.
Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as St Anne draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards. A winter fair at a school like Hollington Primary Academy gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. The coast is within about 3 miles of Hollington, and winter sea winds can be bitter, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue.

Questions from Hollington
What about events near the coast?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Can the van park in Old Roar Gill and Coronation Wood?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your Christmas party and we’ll send a quote.
Can the van come to Hollington?
We do. We serve events in Hollington and across East Sussex. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.

- How far we travel
- The date and time of year

- Allergies and diets you know about
- Rough numbers for adults and children
