Christmas party fish and chips for Peacehaven events

The process

When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we are hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. At about 3:55pm in late December, it gets dark in Peacehaven, so put the van where there’s good light.

  1. You share your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check the route in and send a price.
  3. We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
  4. Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
  5. We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.

Getting ready for the day

  • Tell us when you want to eat
  • Name one person we can call on the day
  • Plan where the queue will stand

Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Peacehaven

A fish and chip van in the car park or outside the venue gives everyone a hot meal. On the menu are pie and chips, gravy and haddock and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater festive gatherings after Christmas and christmas socials for clubs.

Around Peacehaven, Christmas parties are often at home, the village hall or a club. We need firm ground and some light. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Choosing a fish and chip van

Planners, venues and businesses

Hosting at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.

Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.

Where the van can park in Peacehaven

A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:

  • A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
  • Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
  • A spot near your guests

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

From the hatch

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

About the food

Cod and chips

Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.

Curry sauce

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

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?

Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.

If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.

What about events near the coast?

Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.

We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.

Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?

Do you bring everything you need?

Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
