How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Coneyhurst
Everything is fried inside the van, so the weather does not stop service. For festive gatherings after Christmas and christmas fairs and lights switch-ons, we can cook mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy and more.
Near Coneyhurst, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.

Coneyhurst questions
Which station is closest to Coneyhurst?
The closest is Billingshurst station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
Is Coneyhurst close to London?
Roughly 37 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Coneyhurst.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
What time should the van serve at a Christmas party?
Early in the evening usually works best, before the drinks really flow. For lunchtime, we’ll work to your break.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
A chip van compared with other options
Next to a Christmas meal out, a van brings the meal to the team. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.

How the day works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. December in Coneyhurst means early darkness: the light goes at about 3:55pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and children love it.
Coneyhurst in December: what to know
Coneyhurst is about 6 miles south-west of Horsham, in West Sussex. We park up at homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Coneyhurst. Coneyhurst is one of 371 places in West Sussex where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Coneyhurst to Brighton (18 miles away).
PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as The Weald School, suit a chip van.
This part of West Sussex takes in RH14, and we can serve your Christmas party anywhere in it. Close by, we cover Christmas parties in Billingshurst (2 miles north-west), Five Oaks (3 miles north), Newpound Common (3 miles north-west), The Haven (4 miles north) and Slinfold (5 miles north). Larger places within reach include Crawley (13 miles north-east), Horsham (6 miles north-east), Worthing (13 miles south), Haywards Heath (14 miles east), Burgess Hill (13 miles east) and Littlehampton (14 miles south).
Other landmarks nearby include Christs Hospital School Museum (3.9 miles north-east). Within reach you’ll find Knepp Wildland.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
When service is finished, we pack up.
Some teams collect for a local charity on the day.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Parking and the way in
- The date and time of year
- The menu and how many choices
- The length of service
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- A picture of the space and the way in
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Expected numbers
- Anything awkward about the way in
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A spot near your guests
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
