Christmas party fish and chips for Almodington events
A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Almodington
Everything is fried inside the van, so the weather doesn’t stop service. Popular choices include haddock and chips, cod and chips and gravy, and we are regularly asked to cater family Christmas get-togethers and christmas markets and fairs.
For a Christmas party near Almodington, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are frequently soft. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Almodington
Is Almodington 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.
What’s the nearest station to Almodington?
The closest is Chichester station, roughly 4.2 miles away.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
When do Christmas bookings fill up?
Very early. December weekends and Fridays are the first to go.
How much does a fish and chip van for your Christmas party cost in Almodington?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Step by step
Changes on the day are fine: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your Christmas party. Plan your Christmas party in Almodington around the dark: the light goes at about 4:00pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Give us a contact for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

A chip van compared with other options
A big takeaway order rarely arrives hot. A van cooks on the spot. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
