Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Bury
For a family gathering over Christmas, the van can come to you. Typical bookings include christmas customer days and depot Christmas treats, with gravy, cod and chips and mushy peas.
For a Christmas party near Bury, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A clear area by the serving hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Christmas parties in Bury: local tips
Bury is about 7 miles north of Littlehampton, in West Sussex. Give us the address of your Christmas party in Bury, and we’ll plan access and set-up. We take the van to 371 places across West Sussex. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 20 miles away.
If you are organising a Christmas fair for a school like Bury CofE Primary School, hot fish and chips goes down well. If a church like The Parish Church of St John the Evangelist is running a Christmas fair, a chip van is a welcome sight on a cold evening. The South Downs National Park is within about 2 miles of Bury; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.
This part of West Sussex takes in RH20. Local streets include The Street, Houghton Lane and Coombe Crescent; a Christmas party on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. Other places close to Bury we cover include West Burton (1 mile north-west), Amberley (1 mile east), Watersfield (2 miles north), Cross Gate (2 miles east) and Coldwaltham (2 miles north-east).

Bury questions
Which station is closest to Bury?
The closest is Amberley station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your Christmas party and we’ll send a quote.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Can the van come to Bury?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Bury. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
What time is best for food?
Food early on is generally wise, before the drinks really flow. For lunchtime, we will work to your break.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
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.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Access and parking
- Numbers
- Any minimum charge
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. A short menu is often the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Where the van would park
- The date and time of the event
- Roughly how many people, including children
- A picture of where the van would go
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can use our quote form.

Planning help
Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- Put allergy details in writing
Send people out in groups in the cold.
A hot drinks station run by your team pairs well with the van.
