A chip van near Sedlescombe
How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Sedlescombe
For a family gathering over Christmas, the van can come to you, if the date suits. We serve gravy, haddock and chips and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for work Christmas parties and lights switch-on events.
In winter near Sedlescombe, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Sedlescombe
Can you serve near the sea around Sedlescombe?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
How far is Sedlescombe from London?
About 48 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options before booking.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What time is best for food?
Early in the evening usually works best, before the drinks really flow. For lunchtime, we’ll work to your break.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, East Sussex included. Find your area.
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 about guests who don’t eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.

How it works
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. By about 3:55pm in late December, it’s dark in Sedlescombe; park the van where there is good light, and keep the walk short.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Ensure the van can get in
- Name one person we can call on the day

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
What affects the price in Sedlescombe
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The day of the week
