How Christmas party fish and chips works in West Sussex

The van parks outside and serves hot food. Popular choices include cod and chips, sausage and chips and curry sauce, and we are frequently booked for depot Christmas treats and christmas fairs at schools.

The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule.

Around Crawley

You will find the van serving near Friary Church of St Francis and St Anthony, St Wilfrid's Catholic School and Tilgate Park and the streets around them. You’ll also find The George Hotel (under half a mile north), Three Bridges Junior School (less than half a mile south-east) and St Francis of Assisi Catholic Primary School (under half a mile south-east). There’s a railway station in Crawley itself: Crawley station. Nearby you will also find Crawley Hospital (0.5 miles north-west) and County Mall (under half a mile north-east). Green spaces nearby include Tilgate Lake.

Festive bookings in West Sussex

From Crawley, Horsham and Worthing to 293 villages and hamlets, December brings parties at work and at home across West Sussex. Every winter booking needs a lit, level spot. The South Downs National Park and the High Weald National Landscape are within easy reach of places across West Sussex, so check venue rules on vehicles for countryside events. Around 121 places in West Sussex are close to the coast, where we always think about shelter for the queue, and fish and chips feels right at home.

Crawley: If a church like Friary Church of St Francis and St Anthony is running a Christmas fair, a chip van is a welcome sight on a cold evening. PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as Three Bridges Junior School, suit a chip van. In December, it is dark in Crawley by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.

Takeaway run or book a van?

Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Space, access and the venue

We will be honest if a spot will not work. What matters most:

Room in front of the hatch for a queue
The site’s agreement to a catering van
Light near the van and the queue for evening service

Looking after everyone

Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:

Keep the queue dry
Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
Send round an allergy question
Tell facilities or the venue about the van

Park the van close to the door.

Crackers on the tables finish it off.

Working with your venue

Having the party at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.

For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.

FAQs for West Sussex

Can you park on the road outside?

That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.

What time is best for food?

Whenever suits your party. Remember it is dark by about 4pm in December.

Do you take everything away?

We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.

How fast is service?

That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.

Can you trade at our Christmas fair?

Yes. Tell us the date and pitch.

What do we need to supply?

Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.

How do you handle allergies?

Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
