Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Lodsworth
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Lodsworth?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is normally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How early do Christmas dates go?
As soon as you have a date.
Do you cover Lodsworth?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Lodsworth is within our area and the rest of West Sussex. For a quote, use our quote form.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
Will the weather be a problem?
We cook inside the van, so the weather does not stop us. Keep the van close to the door.
How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:

- The length of service
- Your choice of menu
Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Hog roasts are a Christmas favourite, but it is one dish. A chip van gives a choice. Larger groups normally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
