How the day works
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. December in Icklesham means early darkness: the light goes at about 3:55pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- First, tell us about your Christmas party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Clear the route for the van

Christmas party fish and chips in Icklesham, fried fresh
Family get-togethers over the festive season can use a van too, if the date suits. Whether it’s staff Christmas parties and end-of-year customer events, we will put together a menu of curry sauce, cod and chips and sausage and chips and more.
In winter near Icklesham, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

Icklesham questions
Which station is closest to Icklesham?
The closest is Winchelsea station, roughly 2 miles away.
Is Icklesham too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you serve in the cold?
The van copes fine. Plan cover and lighting for the queue.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Do you do work Christmas parties?
We do. Send us your date and site details.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Do you cover Icklesham?
Yes, we do. Icklesham is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Takeaway for a whole office arrives late and cold. A van cooks on the spot. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
