Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
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.
What a fish and chip van costs
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- How easy the site is to reach

- Distance and any road charges
- How many people are eating
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.

Questions from Warbleton
Is Warbleton close to London?
About 42 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is Warbleton too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Warbleton.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
How much does a fish and chip van for your Christmas party cost in Warbleton?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
What happens on the day
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we will adjust start times and pace to suit your Christmas party. Sunset in Warbleton in late December is about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.

Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Occasions we serve in Warbleton
