Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Christmas parties in Norton: local tips
Norton is about 2 miles east of Newhaven, in East Sussex. Christmas parties in Norton are planned around your venue and timings: a clear quote, an agreed spot for the van and food fried fresh on the day. We serve 289 places across East Sussex. Our bookings stretch from Norton to Brighton (10 miles away).
Train travellers will want to know that Bishopstone (Sussex) station is about 1.2 miles away. A Christmas fair at Church of St Andrew is just the kind of event a chip van suits. The South Downs National Park is within about 4 miles of Norton, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route. The coast is within about 2 miles of Norton, and winter sea winds can be bitter, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
We take the van to Christmas parties all over the BN25 postcode area and the streets around it. Other places close to Norton we cover include Bishopstone (1 mile south), Tide Mills (1 mile south-west), Denton (1 mile west), South Heighton (1 mile north-west) and Newhaven (2 miles west). Within a short drive, we also cover Eastbourne (9 miles east), Lewes (7 miles north-west), Hailsham (9 miles north-east), Uckfield (12 miles north), Peacehaven (3 miles west) and Telscombe (4 miles west).

Norton: your questions answered
How far is Norton from London?
About 49 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you serve near the sea around Norton?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Do you do Christmas markets?
We do. Tell us the date and pitch.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Can you serve in the cold?
Not for the cooking. Guests appreciate cover and a short walk.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.

What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
How the day works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. It gets dark in Norton by about 3:55pm at Christmas; park the van where there’s good light, and keep the walk short.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Share the timings for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
How to get a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
