For planners, venues and organisers
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Christmas party fish and chips in Silver Hill, cooked to order
The cooking is inside the van, so the weather does not stop service. Whether it’s christmas lunches for shift teams and office Christmas parties, we will put together a menu of curry sauce, mushy peas and haddock and chips for your guests.

About the food
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.

Common questions in Silver Hill
Do you come out to small places like Silver Hill?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Silver Hill?
The closest is Etchingham station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children generally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Is grass a problem?
Typically, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.

As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
What time is best for food?
Food early on is generally wise. For a lunch, tell us your break time.

A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How far we travel
- The number of meals
- The day of the week
- How long we serve
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Your date and serving time
- A picture of the space and the way in
Each quote is put together for your Christmas party. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Silver Hill?
Venue Christmas packages add up. A van in the car park keeps it simple. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.

Silver Hill in December: what to know
