Christmas party fish and chips in Barnham
About our Christmas party fish and chips in Barnham
December dates book up early, so ask as soon as you know yours. We are frequently asked to cater christmas family parties and end-of-year club parties, with gravy, curry sauce and mushy peas.
Near Barnham, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Food your guests will love
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Space, access and the venue
If a spot isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
Popular choices

Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Why choose Christmas party fish and chips in Barnham?
Few things beat hot fish and chips in December, served fast.
Big or small, the van works the same way. Common bookings include:
- Christmas family parties
- Depot Christmas treats
- PTA Christmas events
- Christmas customer days
If you are organising a Christmas fair for a school like Barnham Primary School, hot fish and chips goes down well.

How it works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and we agree exactly where before the day. An afternoon Christmas party in Barnham can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 4:00pm; light the path to the van.
- We start with a few details about your Christmas party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Ensure the van can get in
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

Planning help
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A hog roast is popular at Christmas, but it is pork only. A van offers fish, sausages and pies. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.
Why book with us
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- Bookings across West Sussex, including Barnham
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Classic food your guests already know
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- Flag any coeliac guests
Plan cover for the queue.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.
What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How easy the site is to reach
- The menu and how many choices
- The length of service
- How far we travel
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
These details help us quote quickly:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Your date and serving time
- Anything awkward about the way in
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, use our quote form.
