Christmas party fish and chips in Three Oaks, fried fresh

Family get-togethers over the festive season can use a van too. We’re frequently asked to cater christmas fairs and lights switch-ons and warehouse and depot Christmas lunches, serving pie and chips, cod and chips and gravy.

In winter near Three Oaks, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party

Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:

  • Distance and any road charges
  • Service time
  • Access and parking
  • Numbers

A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.

You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:

  • Roughly how many people, including children
  • Any dietary needs and allergies
  • Anything awkward about the way in

Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we will check availability right away.

About the food

Sausage and chips

A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.

Gravy

Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.

A fish and chip van or other catering?

Compared with a restaurant Christmas lunch, a van brings the meal to the team. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.

Why us?

  • Served hot, straight from the hatch
  • Events in Three Oaks and across East Sussex
  • Fried fresh, not kept warm
  • A clear quote before booking

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.

DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

  • Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
