Festive bookings around Codmore Hill
Codmore Hill is about 10 miles south-west of Horsham, in West Sussex. In and around Codmore Hill, the van can serve from a drive, a yard, a car park or a firm field. We cover all 371 towns and villages in West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Brighton, about 19 miles away.
A Christmas fair at The Parish Church of St Mary is just the kind of event a chip van suits. PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as St Mary's Church of England Primary School, suit a chip van. Codmore Hill is within about 5 miles of the South Downs National Park; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.
We serve Christmas parties across RH20 and the streets around it. That could mean a Christmas party at a home on Masons Way, Hill Farm Lane and Stane Street, wherever the van can park. We also bring the van to Christmas parties in Broomershill (1 mile south-east), North Heath (1 mile north-east), Nutbourne (1 mile south-east), Marehill (1 mile south-east) and Gay Street (2 miles east). Within a short drive, we also cover Horsham (10 miles north-east), Worthing (11 miles south-east), Bognor Regis (15 miles south-west), Chichester (15 miles south-west), Littlehampton (11 miles south) and Shoreham-by-Sea (14 miles south-east).
Other landmarks nearby include Coates Castle (4.2 miles west). Within reach you will find The Mens.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Codmore Hill
How far is Codmore Hill from London?
About 40 miles from central London.
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you do Christmas markets?
Yes, it is a popular stall. Get in touch with the date.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
When should we book for December?
As early as possible. Fridays in December book up first.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Codmore Hill?
A hog roast is popular at Christmas, but it is one dish. A chip van gives a choice. Larger groups typically cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why Codmore Hill hosts choose us
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up

For planners, venues and organisers
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Codmore Hill? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
How the day works
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace. In December, it is dark in Codmore Hill by about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

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.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Planning the van’s spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A short walk from the party
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
