Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Penhurst
Can the van go to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Which station is closest to Penhurst?
The closest is Battle station, roughly 3.8 miles away.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Do you come to Penhurst?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Penhurst is within our area and the rest of East Sussex. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
For planners, venues and organisers
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
How it works
Your timings come first. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. Plan your Christmas party in Penhurst around the dark: sunset is about 3:55pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
Ask for a quote
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, use our quote form.

What a fish and chip van costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Distance and any road charges
- Cod, haddock or both
- Whether a minimum applies
- Service time
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.
