How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Bosham
December dates book up early, so it pays to ask early. We are frequently asked to cater festive open days and PTA Christmas events, with haddock and chips, pie and chips and cod and chips.
In a small place like Bosham, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.

What the van needs
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

FAQs for Bosham
Do you come out to small places like Bosham?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Bosham from London?
Roughly 57 miles from the centre of London.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can you come to our office Christmas party?
Yes, with a level spot such as a car park and the site’s agreement.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, West Sussex included. Find your area.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Children normally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
The process
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. December in Bosham means early darkness: the light goes at about 4:00pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- 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.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Your choice of menu
- The day of the week
- Whether a minimum applies
- The number of meals
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.
