Christmas party fish and chips for Langney events

Christmas party fish and chips in Langney, cooked to order

The van parks outside and serves hot food, without anyone leaving site. Typical bookings include school and PTA Christmas fairs and work Christmas parties, with cod and chips, pie and chips and gravy.

At a festive party in Langney, the van on the drive goes down well on a dark December evening. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Takeaway run or book a van?

Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.

DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Prices and what affects them

Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:

  • Your choice of menu
  • Whether a minimum applies
  • The day of the week
  • Service time

The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.

What we need to know

These details help us quote quickly:

  • Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
  • Any dietary needs and allergies
  • Where the van would park
  • Roughly how many people, including children

Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll check availability right away.

Perfect for your Christmas party in Langney

No restaurant booking, no taxis.

Whatever the occasion in Langney, fish and chips from the hatch goes down well. We regularly serve:

  • Christmas customer days
  • End-of-year club parties
  • Office Christmas parties
  • Family Christmas get-togethers

A winter fair at a school like Langney Primary Academy gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular.

What to look for in a quote

  • How late numbers can change
  • If the price includes VAT
  • A clear list of what’s included
  • Any minimum charge

15 questions to ask before you book

The menu, dish by dish

Mushy peas

Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.

Haddock and chips

Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.

Planning for dietary needs

With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:

  • Confirm allergies by email
  • Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
  • Keep the queue dry
  • Collect allergies in advance

Serving early, before the drinks flow, is often wise.

A hot drinks station run by your team pairs well with the van.

Langney: your questions answered

What’s the nearest station to Langney?

Pevensey & Westham station, about 1.1 miles north-east of the centre.

Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?

Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.

Is everything cooked fresh?

Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.

Do you do anything other than fish?

Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.

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.

Do we need to provide anything?

Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.

Do you cover Langney?

We do. Langney is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.

Can you go on a lawn or field?

It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.

A fish and chip van or other catering?

A hog roast is popular at Christmas, but it’s one dish. A van offers fish, sausages and pies. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is usually the best value.

Why us?

  • A van that becomes part of the event
  • All the chip-shop extras
  • No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
  • Hot food handed straight over

How it works

On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your Christmas party. December in Langney means early darkness: the light goes at about 3:55pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.

  1. We start with a few details about your Christmas party.
  2. We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
  3. Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
  4. We cook to order on the day for your guests.
  5. Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.

Preparing for the day

  • Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
  • Plan where the queue will stand
  • Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
