What a fish and chip van costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Your choice of menu
- The day of the week
- Any minimum charge
- Access and parking
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.

You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- A picture of where the van would go
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Any dietary needs and allergies

Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
About our Christmas party fish and chips in Streat
The van parks outside and serves hot food, without anyone leaving site. For work Christmas parties and festive family gatherings, we can cook sausage and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce and more.
For a Christmas party near Streat, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Common questions in Streat
Which station is closest to Streat?
The closest is Plumpton station, roughly 1.1 miles away.
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
What time should the van serve at a Christmas party?
Whenever suits your party. Plan lighting, as it is dark early.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
When do Christmas bookings fill up?
As early as possible. December weekends and Fridays are the first to go.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
How the day works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. By about 3:55pm in late December, it is dark in Streat; choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
How to prepare
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
