No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Which station is closest to Botolphs?
Shoreham-By-Sea station, about 3.2 miles south-east of the centre.
Can you park on the road outside?

A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
Do we need to provide equipment?

Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Botolphs
The Christmas season is short and busy, so it pays to ask early. For end-of-year club parties and christmas family parties, we’ll put together a menu of pie and chips, cod and chips and gravy for your guests.
In a small place like Botolphs, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Hog roasts are a Christmas favourite, but it is pork only. A van offers fish, sausages and pies. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your Christmas party is.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.

The process
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your guests can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. In December, it is dark in Botolphs by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- You tell us the date, the venue or site, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get an access check and a clear quote.
- We agree arrival, lighting and the serving spot with you or the venue.
- We park up, heat the fryers and serve hot food on a cold day.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Preparing for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Planning a Christmas party in Botolphs
Botolphs is about 3 miles north-west of Shoreham-by-Sea, in West Sussex. Bookings in Botolphs come in all shapes and sizes, but the plan is always the same: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. Botolphs is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Botolphs to Brighton (8 miles away).
Christmas fairs at a church such as St Botolph's Church can book the van as a hot-food stall. PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as Upper Beeding Primary School, suit a chip van. With the sea within about 4 miles, December breezes can be cold, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
