About our Christmas party fish and chips in Steyning
Everything is fried inside the van, so the weather does not stop service. Whether it is depot Christmas treats and festive family gatherings, we will put together a menu of pie and chips, sausage and chips and curry sauce.
Around Steyning, Christmas parties are frequently at home, the village hall or a club. The van needs a lit spot and a firm surface. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
Having the party at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
What happens on the day
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. December in Steyning means early darkness: the light goes at about 3:55pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Looking after everyone
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- Plan lighting near the hatch
Serving early, before the drinks flow, is frequently wise.
A bit of festive music by the van helps.
Where the van can park in Steyning
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A clear area by the serving hatch
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
