Christmas party fish and chips in Roedean, cooked to order
The Christmas season is short and busy, so ask as soon as you know yours. Whether it is festive gatherings after Christmas and depot Christmas treats, we can cook haddock and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips.
In winter near Roedean, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often 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.

Having the party at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.

Roughly 47 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
When should we eat?
Whenever suits your party. Remember it’s dark by about 4pm in December.
Do you need power or water?

Do you cover Roedean?
We do. Roedean is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.

We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.

When do Christmas bookings fill up?
Ideally in the summer or early autumn, especially for a Friday.
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
For a Christmas party that feels a bit different, a fish and chip van is a great choice. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.

- A short walk from the party
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Christmas parties in Roedean: local tips
Roedean is about 2 miles east of Carlton Hill, in Brighton and Hove. We park up at homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Roedean and nearby villages. Roedean is one of 30 places in Brighton and Hove where we bring the van.
A Christmas fair at St Mark's Church is just the kind of event a chip van suits. A winter fair at a school like St Mark's CofE Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. Roedean is within about 7 miles of the South Downs National Park, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route. With the sea within about 2 miles, December breezes can be cold.
We take the van to Christmas parties all over BN2. Your Christmas party could be at a house on Peel Road, Cliff Road and Henley Road or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere for the van.
