About our Christmas party fish and chips in Stone Cross
Fish and chips is food everyone enjoys, which makes it a safe choice for a mixed team. Typical bookings include family Christmas get-togethers and PTA Christmas events, serving haddock and chips, gravy and cod and chips.
In a small place like Stone Cross, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.
Before you choose a spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- A spot near your guests
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Planners, venues and businesses
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
What affects the price in Stone Cross
These are the factors that matter most:

Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.

Stone Cross: your questions answered
Is Stone Cross too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van go to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Do you come to Stone Cross?
We do. Stone Cross is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before you book.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Children usually love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A cold buffet does not feel festive. Hot food from the van does. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
