Christmas party fish and chips in Rushlake Green
Common questions in Rushlake Green
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’ll follow the site rules.
Is Rushlake Green close to London?
Roughly 42 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
Yes, if there is a suitable spot for the van and the site allows it.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Can the van park on grass?
Typically, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Rushlake Green

In winter near Rushlake Green, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Whatever brings people together, fish and chips from the hatch goes down well. We are often booked for:
- Christmas markets and fairs
- New Year parties
- School and PTA Christmas fairs
- Family Christmas get-togethers
A winter fair at a school like Heathfield Community College gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular.

- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
Before you choose a spot
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. In general, we need:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Keep the queue dry
- Put allergy details in writing
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Choose a lit spot for the van
Afterwards, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Fairy lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
Planners, venues and businesses
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
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.
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
