Christmas party fish and chips in Pell Green

Christmas party fish and chips in Pell Green, fried fresh

Fish and chips is food everyone enjoys, which makes it a safe choice for a mixed team. For school and PTA Christmas fairs and new Year parties, we can cook cod and chips, haddock and chips and curry sauce for your guests.

For a Christmas party near Pell Green, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are frequently soft. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Festive bookings around Pell Green

Pell Green is about 6 miles south-east of Royal Tunbridge Wells, in East Sussex. Bookings in Pell Green come in all shapes and sizes, but the plan is always the same: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. Pell Green is one of 289 towns and villages in East Sussex where we bring the van. You can also see our page for Brighton, about 27 miles away.

For colleagues travelling by train, the closest railway station is Wadhurst station, roughly 1.5 miles west of the centre. A winter fair at a school like Wadhurst CofE Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. The High Weald National Landscape is within about a mile of Pell Green; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.

Christmas parties anywhere in TN5 start with a parking spot for the van and a serving time. We also bring the van to Christmas parties in Newbury's (1 mile north-east), Cousley Wood (1 mile north-east), Wadhurst (1 mile south-west), Birchett's Green (2 miles south-east) and Shover's Green (2 miles south). Further out, we also take the van to Hailsham (15 miles south), Crowborough (8 miles west), Uckfield (13 miles south-west), Heathfield (8 miles south-west), Upper Horsebridge (14 miles south) and Hellingly (14 miles south).

Other landmarks nearby include Ticehurst House Hospital (2.8 miles south-east) and Old Scotney Castle (3.1 miles north-east). Open spaces near Pell Green include Bewl Water.

  • Schools near Pell Green include Uplands Community College (0.9 miles south)

Our booking checklist

A closer look at the menu

Curry sauce

The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.

Haddock and chips

Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.

A fish and chip van or other catering?

A cold buffet in December isn’t much of a treat. Hot fish and chips is. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.

Takeaway run or book a van?

Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.

Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.

Diets, allergies and planning

Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:

  • Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
  • Confirm allergies by email
  • Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
  • December Fridays go first: book early

Send people out in groups.

Crackers on the tables finish it off.

What the van needs

A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:

  • A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
  • Space for people to queue at the hatch
  • Confirmation that the van can park there

Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we serve

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