Planning a Christmas party in Muddles Green

Muddles Green is about 3 miles north-west of Hailsham, in East Sussex. Muddles Green is well within our area, so your Christmas party just needs a date, a spot for the van and a serving time. Muddles Green is one of 289 towns and villages in East Sussex we cover. Our bookings stretch from Muddles Green to Brighton (15 miles away).

If a church like The Parish Church is running a Christmas fair, a chip van is a welcome sight on a cold evening. For colleagues travelling by train, Berwick (Sussex) station, about 4.5 miles south, is the nearest station. The South Downs National Park is within about 7 miles of Muddles Green, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route.

Here we cover the BN8 postcode area, so your Christmas party can be anywhere in it. Streets in the area include Scraper's Hill and Muddles Green, and the van can serve a Christmas party on any of them with a suitable parking spot. Close by, we cover Christmas parties in Hale Green (1 mile north-east), Gun Hill (1 mile north-east), Burlow (2 miles north-east), Lions Green (3 miles north) and Horam (3 miles north-east). Further out, we also take the van to Eastbourne (9 miles south-east), Bexhill-on-Sea (12 miles east), Seaford (10 miles south-west), Lewes (9 miles west), Hailsham (3 miles south-east) and Crowborough (10 miles north).

Allergies and dietary needs

With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:

  • Plan lighting near the hatch
  • Agree the spot with the venue
  • Confirm allergies by email
  • Plan cover for the queue

Stagger groups so the queue stays short.

A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.

A closer look at the menu

Mushy peas

No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.

Curry sauce

Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.

What a fish and chip van costs

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

  • How long we serve
  • The minimum booking
  • Access and parking
  • How far we travel

Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.

What to tell us

These details help us quote quickly:

  • The spot you have in mind for the van
  • Where the event is
  • Rough numbers for adults and children
  • A photo of the parking spot

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, use our quote form.

Step by step

Expect a friendly, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. It gets dark in Muddles Green by about 3:55pm at Christmas; park the van where there’s good light, and keep the walk short.

  1. Send us your December date, venue, numbers and serving time.
  2. You get an access check and a clear quote.
  3. Arrival time and a well-lit spot are agreed in advance.
  4. We park up, heat the fryers and serve hot food on a cold day.
  5. We pack up when service ends and leave the pitch tidy.

How to prepare

  • Give us a contact for the day
  • Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
  • Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Ask for a quote

It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.

Questions from Muddles Green

How far is Muddles Green from London?

Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.

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 follow the site rules.

Is there something for children?

Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.

Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?

Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.

Will the weather be a problem?

Not for the cooking. Guests appreciate cover and a short walk.

What if the weather’s bad?

We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

Do you have allergen information?

Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information.

Do you come to Muddles Green?

Yes, we do. We serve events in Muddles Green and across East Sussex. Tell us your date and we will check availability.

Before you choose a spot

A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:

  • A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
  • A clear area by the serving hatch
  • Somewhere close to where people will eat

Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

From the hatch

  • Haddock and chips
  • Sausage and chips
  • Mushy peas
  • Cod and chips
  • Pie and chips
  • Gravy
  • Curry sauce

For planners, venues and organisers

For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.

If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

Should I sort the food myself?

Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
  • Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
  • The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
  • Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
