15 questions to ask before you book

Planning a Christmas party in East Worthing

East Worthing is about 2 miles south-west of Lancing, in West Sussex. People in East Worthing book us for all sorts of reasons, but it always starts the same way: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. We serve 371 places across West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from East Worthing to Brighton (about 10 miles away).

For anyone getting the train home after the party, East Worthing station, about 0.6 miles north, is the nearest station. If you are organising a Christmas fair for a school like Lyndhurst Infant School, hot fish and chips goes down well. With the sea within about a mile, December breezes can be cold.

Wherever your Christmas party is in BN11, BN14 and BN15, we can bring the van to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Whether your Christmas party is on Ham Road, Eldon Road and Ophir Road or anywhere nearby, we’ll bring the van to you. We also bring the van to Christmas parties in Sompting (1 mile north), Broadwater (1 mile north-west), Lancing (2 miles north-east), Offington (2 miles north-west) and Worthing (2 miles west). Within a short drive, we also cover Bognor Regis (15 miles west), Burgess Hill (14 miles north-east), Littlehampton (8 miles west), Shoreham-by-Sea (4 miles north-east), Rustington (7 miles west) and Storrington (9 miles north-west).

Well-known places in the area include Old Castle (2.1 miles north-west) and Museum of Sussex Folklore (2.1 miles north-west). The countryside around East Worthing includes Lancing Ring and Widewater Lagoon.

  • Nearby schools include Davison Church of England High School for Girls (0.5 miles north-west)
  • Local pubs include Half Brick pub (less than half a mile north-west)

Planning for dietary needs

A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:

  • Let us know about coeliac disease
  • Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
  • Choose a lit spot for the van
  • Send round an allergy question

Park the van close to the door, so nobody is out in the cold for long.

Paper hats and crackers on the tables add to the fun.

The process

The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. An afternoon Christmas party in East Worthing can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 4:00pm, so put the van where there is good light.

  1. First, the plan: what, where and what time.
  2. You hear back on the date and the price.
  3. The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
  4. Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
  5. We leave the spot as we found it.

Getting ready for the day

  • Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
  • Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
  • Plan where the queue will stand

Prices and what affects them

Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:

  • Parking and the way in
  • The length of service
  • How far we travel
  • How many people are eating

The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.

What to tell us

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:

  • Where the event is
  • Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
  • Expected numbers
  • Dietary needs, with numbers

Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.

Should I sort the food myself?

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 nobody has to miss the Christmas party.

Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.

East Worthing: your questions answered

Can you serve near the sea around East Worthing?

Yes. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.

How far is East Worthing from London?

Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.

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 will tell you honestly what we can offer.

How much space do you need?

Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.

How long are you on site?

We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.

Can you park on the road outside?

That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is normally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.

Can you cook in the rain?

We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.

Is there something for children?

Yes. Children generally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.

For planners, venues and organisers

For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.

Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
  • Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
  • The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
  • Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
