About our Christmas party fish and chips in Crockerhill
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons suit a chip van too, with hot food for visitors in the cold. For festive gatherings after Christmas and lights switch-on events, we can cook mushy peas, sausage and chips and gravy for your guests.
In a small place like Crockerhill, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Other occasions in Crockerhill
Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will 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.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Venue Christmas packages add up. A van in the car park keeps it simple. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
Why book our van in Crockerhill
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy

If people are coming by rail, Barnham station, about 2.7 miles south-east, is the nearest station. A winter fair at a school like Tangmere Primary Academy gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. Crockerhill is within about 8 miles of the South Downs National Park, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route. The coast is within about 6 miles of Crockerhill, and winter sea winds can be bitter.

Crockerhill: your questions answered
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 come out to small places like Crockerhill?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is normally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Perfect for your Christmas party in Crockerhill
By December, many people have had several Christmas dinners, so a chip van makes a nice change.
The van suits big events and small ones. Typical bookings include:
- Christmas customer days
- Work Christmas parties
- Festive gatherings after Christmas
- Warehouse and depot Christmas lunches
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.
