Planning help

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?

Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.

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.

For planners, venues and organisers

Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.

Planning the van’s spot

We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:

  • A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
  • Somewhere close to where people will eat
  • A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates

Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Popular choices

  • Pie and chips
  • Mushy peas
  • Haddock and chips
  • Cod and chips
  • Gravy
  • Curry sauce
  • Sausage and chips

Why book with us

  • No kitchen needed
  • We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
  • Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
  • Quick service from the hatch

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Sandy Cross

Is Sandy Cross close to London?

Roughly 40 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.

Do you come 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 the food cooked at the event?

Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.

Can the van come to our work Christmas do?

Yes, with a level spot such as a car park and the site’s agreement.

What if we only have street parking?

It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.

We do. Sandy Cross is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.

Does the batter contain gluten?

No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before you book.
