Fishbourne in December: what to know
Fishbourne is about 1 mile west of Chichester, in West Sussex. Bookings in Fishbourne come in all shapes and sizes, but it always starts the same way: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. We cover all 371 towns and villages in West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 26 miles away.
A winter fair at a school like Fishbourne CofE Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. If a church like Church of St Peter and St Mary is running a Christmas fair, a chip van is a welcome sight on a cold evening.
Here we cover the PO19 and PO18 postcode area. We can serve a Christmas party on streets such as Creek End, Palatine Gardens and Claver Gardens or the roads around them, wherever the van can park. Nearby, we also serve Christmas parties in Apuldram (1 mile south), Broadbridge (2 miles west), Bosham (2 miles west), East Ashling (2 miles north-west) and Bosham Hoe (2 miles south-west). Larger places within reach include Bognor Regis (6 miles south-east), Selsey (7 miles south), Littlehampton (12 miles east), Emsworth (6 miles west), Rustington (13 miles east) and Angmering (15 miles east).
A little further out are Chichester Castle (1.6 miles east) and St Richard's Hospital (1.9 miles east). Green spaces nearby include Stoke Down and Kingley Vale National Nature Reserve.
- Nearby schools include Bishop Luffa School (0.7 miles east) and Central C of E Junior School (1.3 miles east)
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Fishbourne
How far is Fishbourne from London?
About 55 miles from central London.
What’s the nearest station to Fishbourne?
Fishbourne has its own station: Fishbourne station.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Do you do work Christmas parties?
Yes, with a level spot such as a car park and the site’s agreement.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.
