Christmas party fish and chips in Turners Hill, cooked to order
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons suit a chip van too, serving hot food on a chilly evening. For lights switch-on events and new Year parties, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, pie and chips and curry sauce.
For a Christmas party near Turners Hill, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are frequently soft. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Festive bookings around Turners Hill
Turners Hill is about 4 miles south-west of East Grinstead, in West Sussex. People in Turners Hill book us for all sorts of reasons, but it always starts the same way: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. We serve all 371 towns and villages in West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. We serve events right across the region, from Turners Hill to Brighton (19 miles away).
For anyone getting the train home after the party, East Grinstead station, about 3.3 miles north-east, is the nearest station. If a church like Church of St Leonard is running a Christmas fair, a chip van is a welcome sight on a cold evening. The High Weald National Landscape is within about 6 miles of Turners Hill; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.
We cover Christmas parties in every part of RH10 and the streets around it. Your Christmas party could be at a house on Church Road, East Street and Willow Ridge, as long as there is somewhere for the van. If your venue is just outside Turners Hill, we also cover Crawley Down (1 mile north), Snow Hill (2 miles north), Furnace Wood (3 miles north), Saint Hill Green (3 miles east) and Domewood (3 miles north). Larger places within reach include Crawley (5 miles west), Horsham (11 miles west), Haywards Heath (7 miles south), Burgess Hill (10 miles south), East Grinstead (4 miles north-east) and Broadfield (5 miles west).
A little further out are Effingham Park Motor Museum (2.6 miles north) and Waterbury Castle (5 miles south-east). The countryside around Turners Hill includes Hedgecourt Lake.
- Local pubs include The Crown Public House (within half a mile south)
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
Park the van close to the door, so nobody is out in the cold for long.
Paper hats and crackers on the tables add to the fun.
How the day works
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. By about 3:55pm in late December, it is dark in Turners Hill; park the van where there’s good light.
- We start with a few details about your Christmas party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Have a level parking spot ready

Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
Planning help
Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
On the menu in Turners Hill
- Pie and chips
- Curry sauce
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
- Gravy
For event organisers in Turners Hill
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. 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.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
What a fish and chip van costs
There’s nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- Access and parking
- The length of service
- The minimum booking
- Cod, haddock or both
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.
Details that help
The more we know about your Christmas party, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- The date and time of the event
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Where the event is
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.
