In a small place like Maudlin, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

How it works
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace. In December, it is dark in Maudlin by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Share the timings for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
How to get a price
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Planning help
For event organisers in Maudlin
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
What the van needs
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A clear area by the serving hatch
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
From the hatch
- Gravy
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Maudlin
Can you serve near the sea around Maudlin?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Is Maudlin close to London?
About 53 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes, it is a popular stall. Send us the details.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
Is there a non-fish option?
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.
When should we eat?
At the time you choose. Plan lighting, as it is dark early.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Numbers
- Service time
- The day of the week
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
The more we know about your Christmas party, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Where the van would park
- A photo of the parking spot
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Expected numbers
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we will check availability straight away.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A cold buffet doesn’t feel festive. Hot fish and chips is. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
What you get with us
- A clear quote before booking
- No kitchen needed
- Hot food handed straight over
- We cover Maudlin and the whole of West Sussex
See our pricing or the cost guide.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Check the van can park on site
- Plan lighting near the hatch
We arrive in good time and set up in a lit spot.
A bit of festive music by the van helps.
About the food
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
