- We start with a few details about your Christmas party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.

Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Send round an allergy question
Stagger groups so the queue stays short.
A bit of festive music by the van helps.

Chidham in December: what to know
Chidham is about 4 miles west of Chichester, in West Sussex. Whether your Christmas party is in the middle of Chidham or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. Chidham is one of 371 places in West Sussex we cover. Our bookings stretch from Chidham to Southampton (about 23 miles away).
If a church like The Parish Church of St Mary is running a Christmas fair, a chip van is a welcome sight on a cold evening. If people are coming by rail, Nutbourne station, about 1 mile north-west, is the nearest station. The coast is within about 6 miles of Chidham, and winter sea winds can be bitter, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Here we cover the PO18 postcode area, and we can serve your Christmas party anywhere in it. Whether your Christmas party is on Chidham Lane, Harbour Way and Cot Lane or a nearby road, we can park up and fry there. For Christmas parties just outside Chidham, we cover Nutbourne (1 mile north-west), Bosham (1 mile east), Broadbridge (1 mile east), Hambrook (1 mile north) and Bosham Hoe (2 miles south-east). We also serve nearby towns such as Bognor Regis (9 miles east), Chichester (4 miles east), Selsey (8 miles south-east), Littlehampton (15 miles east), Emsworth (3 miles north-west) and Portfield (5 miles east).

- Pubs nearby include The Bosham Free House Public House And Restaurant (0.6 miles north)
Space, access and the venue

- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
What affects the price in Chidham
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- The length of service
- Distance and any road charges
- Your choice of menu
- Whether a minimum applies
Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
What we need to know
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- The date and time of the event
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Anything awkward about the way in
- A picture of the parking spot
