Christmas parties in Bedham: local tips
Bedham is about 6 miles south-west of Billingshurst, in West Sussex. In and around Bedham, the van can serve from a drive, a yard, a car park or a firm field. We cover all 371 towns and villages in West Sussex. Our nearest city page is Guildford, about 19 miles away.
A winter fair at a school like Fittleworth CofE Village School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. For anyone getting the train home after the party, the closest railway station is Pulborough station, roughly 2.1 miles south-east of the centre. The South Downs National Park is within about 5 miles of Bedham; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.
Anywhere in RH20, we can bring the van to you. Local streets include Bedham Lane, Upper Street and Stretch Hill; a Christmas party on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. We also bring the van to Christmas parties in Fittleworth (1 mile south), Lower Horncroft (1 mile south), Coates (1 mile south-west), Pickhurst (2 miles east) and Hardham (2 miles south-east). Larger places within reach include Horsham (12 miles north-east), Worthing (12 miles south-east), Bognor Regis (14 miles south-west), Chichester (13 miles south-west), Littlehampton (11 miles south) and Lancing (14 miles south-east).
Other landmarks nearby include Coates Castle (1.9 miles south-west) and Coultershaw Heritage Site (2.5 miles west). The countryside around Bedham includes The Mens and Bignor Hill.
- Pubs nearby include The Swan Hotel (0.9 miles south)

A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce and it is on the menu.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Where the van can park in Bedham
If a spot is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another. What matters most:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

- Gravy
- Cod and chips

Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Confirm allergies by email
- Keep the queue dry
For a work party, food early in the evening generally works best.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.
A chip van compared with other options
For a Christmas party that feels a bit different, a fish and chip van is a great choice in Bedham. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is usually the best value.

How the day works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. It gets dark in Bedham by about 4:00pm at Christmas; park the van where there’s good light, and keep the walk short.
- 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.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Clear the route for the van

Bedham: your questions answered
How far is Bedham from London?
About 42 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
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 time should the van serve at a Christmas party?
Whenever suits your party. Remember it is dark by about 4pm in December.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
- 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
