Christmas party fish and chips in Broadbridge Heath

For planners, venues and organisers

If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.

Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

Broadbridge Heath in December: what to know

Broadbridge Heath is about 2 miles west of Horsham, in West Sussex. For Christmas parties in Broadbridge Heath, the van can park on drives, in car parks and yards, and on firm lawns and fields in and around Broadbridge Heath. Broadbridge Heath is one of 371 places in West Sussex we cover. Our nearest city page is Guildford, about 15 miles away.

A winter fair at a school like Shelley Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. If a church like St. John's Church is running a Christmas fair, a chip van is a welcome sight on a cold evening. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about 8 miles of Broadbridge Heath, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route.

This part of West Sussex takes in RH12, and we can serve your Christmas party anywhere in it. Local streets include Church Road, Broadbridge Way and Sargent Way; a Christmas party on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. For Christmas parties just outside Broadbridge Heath, we cover Tower Hill (1 mile south-east), Warnham (2 miles north), Horsham (2 miles east), Itchingfield (2 miles south-west) and Rowhook (2 miles north-west). We also serve nearby towns such as Crawley (8 miles east), Haywards Heath (13 miles east), Burgess Hill (13 miles south-east), Broadfield (7 miles east), Storrington (11 miles south) and Billingshurst (5 miles south-west).

Other landmarks nearby include Horsham Hospital (1.7 miles east) and Christs Hospital School Museum (1.6 miles south). Within reach you’ll find Warnham LNR.

  • Local pubs include Shelley Arms (less than half a mile north-east)

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Broadbridge Heath

Do you come to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?

Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.

Which station is closest to Broadbridge Heath?

The closest is Christs Hospital station, roughly 1.2 miles away.

Do you do Christmas markets?

We do. Tell us the date and pitch.

Can the van come to Broadbridge Heath?

Yes, we do. Broadbridge Heath is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.

Do you fry it on site?

Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.

Can the van come to our work Christmas do?

We do. Send us your date and site details.

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’s on the menu?

Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.

Takeaway run or book a van?

DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.

How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party

The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:

  • The day of the week
  • How long we serve
  • The menu and how many choices
  • Distance and any road charges

The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

What to tell us

The more we know about your Christmas party, the better we can plan. Try to include:

  • Anything awkward about the way in
  • The date and time of the event
  • A photo of the parking spot
  • Where you’d like the van to go

We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, fill in our quote form.

Before you choose a spot

Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:

  • A short walk from the party
  • A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
  • Confirmation that the van can park there

If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

On the menu in Broadbridge Heath

  • Cod and chips
  • Sausage and chips
  • Gravy
  • Mushy peas
  • Pie and chips
  • Haddock and chips
  • Curry sauce

Diets, allergies and planning

Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:

  • Plan cover for the queue
  • Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
  • Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
  • Flag any coeliac guests

Park the van close to the door, so nobody is out in the cold for long.

A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.

How the day works

We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. In December, it is dark in Broadbridge Heath by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.

  1. Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
  2. Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
  3. Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
  4. The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
  5. Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

How to prepare

  • Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
  • Get permission for the van from the venue
  • Name one person we can call on the day
