Christmas party fish and chips in Rotherfield
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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 usually the easier option.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Rotherfield
The van parks outside and serves hot food. We serve sausage and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas, and we’re frequently booked for christmas family parties and school and PTA Christmas fairs.
Near Rotherfield, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Cod, haddock or both
- The number of meals
- How easy the site is to reach
- How long we serve
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.

Rotherfield: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Rotherfield?
The closest is Crowborough station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
Is Rotherfield close to London?
About 34 miles from central London.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes. Tell us the date and pitch.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
Can you come to our office Christmas party?
Yes. Send us your date and site details.
Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Keep the queue dry
- Choose a lit spot for the van
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
Stagger groups so the queue stays short in the cold.
A hot drinks station run by your team pairs well with the van.
Before you choose a spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Lighting nearby for evening events
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we serve

Planning a Christmas party in Rotherfield
Rotherfield is about 2 miles east of Crowborough, in East Sussex. Whether your Christmas party is in the middle of Rotherfield or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. Rotherfield is one of 289 places in East Sussex we cover. We serve events right across the region, from Rotherfield to Brighton (about 21 miles away).
Christmas fairs at a church such as The Parish Church of St Denys can book the van as a hot-food stall. For anyone getting the train home after the party, the closest railway station is Crowborough station, roughly 1.3 miles west of the centre. The High Weald National Landscape is within about 3 miles of Rotherfield; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.

The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
How it works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Your guests can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. At about 3:55pm in late December, it gets dark in Rotherfield, so put the van where there’s good light.
- We start with a few details about your Christmas party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
