Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Wood's Corner

The cooking is inside the van, so the weather does not stop service. For christmas fairs at schools and staff Christmas parties, we can cook haddock and chips, curry sauce and gravy and more.

In a small place like Wood's Corner, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

How the day works

The first sign we’ve arrived is normally the smell. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. An afternoon Christmas party in Wood's Corner can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 3:55pm; light the path to the van.

  1. First, the plan: what, where and what time.
  2. We come back with availability and a clear price.
  3. The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
  4. Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
  5. The pitch is left tidy when we go.

Getting ready for the day

  • Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
  • Choose a level, firm spot for the van
  • Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Wood's Corner

Do you come out to small places like Wood's Corner?

No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

How far is Wood's Corner from London?

Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.

Who clears up?

We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.

Can you come to our office Christmas party?

Yes, with a level spot such as a car park and the site’s agreement.

Do you bring everything you need?

The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.

Is there something for children?

Of course. Children normally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.

How soon do we need to book?

As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.

What does it cost to hire the van?

We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.

For planners, venues and organisers

If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.

Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Wood's Corner? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.

Takeaway run or book a van?

Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.

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 cooks in front of your guests instead.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Wood's Corner?

Hog roasts are a Christmas favourite, but it’s one dish. A van offers fish, sausages and pies. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.

Why us?

  • Hot food handed straight over
  • Something for guests to gather round
  • Nothing for you to cook or clear
  • Fried fresh, not kept warm

Allergies and dietary needs

Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:

  • Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
  • December Fridays go first: book early
  • Send round an allergy question
  • Choose a lit spot for the van

Serving early, before the drinks flow, is often wise.

Hot drinks alongside make it even better.

Christmas parties in Wood's Corner: local tips

Wood's Corner is about 8 miles north-east of Hailsham, in East Sussex. We take a fish and chip van for your Christmas party to drives, car parks, yards and venues around Wood's Corner and the surrounding area. Wood's Corner is one of 289 towns and villages in East Sussex we cover. We serve events right across the region, from Wood's Corner to Brighton (about 23 miles away).

A Christmas fair at The Parish Church of St Giles is just the kind of event a chip van suits. A winter fair at a school like Dallington Church of England Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. Wood's Corner is within about 4 miles of the High Weald National Landscape; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.

For Christmas parties in TN21, we just need to know where the van can park and a serving time. If your venue is just outside Wood's Corner, we also cover Dallington (1 mile west), Rushlake Green (2 miles west), Brownbread Street (3 miles south), Punnett's Town (3 miles west) and Ashburnham (3 miles south-east).

How to compare vans

The menu, dish by dish

Haddock and chips

Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

Curry sauce

Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
  • Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
  • The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
  • Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
