About our Christmas party fish and chips in Rusher's Cross

For a Christmas party near Rusher's Cross, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are frequently soft. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the date, the service time and the menu.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Rusher's Cross
Can the van park in Wadhurst Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Rusher's Cross too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
When should we book for December?
As early as possible. December weekends and Fridays are the first to go.
Can you serve in the cold?
We cook inside the van, so the weather doesn’t stop us. Keep the van close to the door.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Planners, venues and businesses
Having the party at home? Send us a picture of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
What happens on the day
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. An afternoon Christmas party in Rusher's Cross can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 3:55pm; light the path to the van.
- First, tell us about your Christmas party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Let us know the serving time
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
Ask for a quote
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.

Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
