Albourne Green in December: what to know

We take the van to 371 places in West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Brighton, about 8 miles away.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is 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.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
For something other than turkey, a chip van is hard to beat in Albourne Green. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.

Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Plan cover for the queue
- Have a back-up for special diets
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Confirm allergies by email
A gazebo or covered doorway near the hatch helps on a wet night.
A bit of festive music by the van helps.
How the day works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your guests, and we agree exactly where before the day. Sunset in Albourne Green in late December is about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
