Christmas party fish and chips for Stone Cross events
Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Stone Cross
A Christmas party doesn’t have to mean another turkey dinner. Fish and chips from the van is warming, generous and a bit different. We serve cod and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for staff Christmas parties and christmas socials for clubs.
For a Christmas get-together near Stone Cross, the van on the drive goes down well on a dark December evening. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Plan cover for the queue
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Choose a lit spot for the van
Stagger groups so the queue stays short.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.
Stone Cross in December: what to know
Stone Cross is about 2 miles north of Eastbourne, in East Sussex. Stone Cross is well within our area, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. Stone Cross is one of 289 places in East Sussex we cover. Our bookings stretch from Stone Cross to Brighton (about 19 miles away).
If a church like St Luke's Church is running a Christmas fair, a chip van is a welcome sight on a cold evening. A winter fair at a school like Stone Cross School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. The South Downs National Park is within about 7 miles of Stone Cross; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning. With the sea within about 4 miles, December breezes can be cold.
Anywhere in BN24, we can fry fresh for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Local streets include Millers Keep, Geering Road and Nutley Mill Road; a Christmas party on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. For Christmas parties just outside Stone Cross, we cover Blackness (1 mile north-west), Hankham (1 mile north), Willingdon (2 miles south-west), Lower Willingdon (2 miles west) and Polegate (2 miles west). Further out, we also take the van to Hastings (12 miles east), Bexhill-on-Sea (8 miles east), Seaford (9 miles west), Lewes (13 miles west), Hailsham (4 miles north-west) and St Leonards (11 miles east).
A little further out are Eastbourne District General Hospital (2.4 miles south-west) and Pevensey Court House Museum And Gaol (1.6 miles east). Within reach you will find Combe Hill.
- Nearby schools include Causeway School (0.7 miles south-west)
- Pubs nearby include The Red Lion pub (less than half a mile west)

Stone Cross: your questions answered
Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
What time should the van serve at a Christmas party?
Whenever suits your party. Plan lighting, as it is dark early.
When should we book for December?
Ideally in the summer or early autumn.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
How much does a fish and chip van for your Christmas party cost in Stone Cross?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A cold buffet doesn’t feel festive. Hot food from the van does. 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.
