A chip van near Trotton
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
About our Christmas party fish and chips in Trotton
A Christmas party does not have to mean another turkey dinner. Hot fish and chips on a cold December day is festive in its own way. On the menu are mushy peas, sausage and chips and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for work Christmas parties and christmas socials for clubs.
For a Christmas party near Trotton, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are often soft. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.

Trotton questions
Do you come out to small places like Trotton?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
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 follow the site rules.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Do you do Christmas markets?
Yes, it’s a popular stall. Send us the details.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
