Festive bookings around Fisher
Fisher is about 3 miles south of Chichester, in West Sussex. People in Fisher book us for all sorts of reasons, but the plan is always the same: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. Fisher is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex we cover. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 28 miles away.
A winter fair at a school like Chichester High School For Girls gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. If people are coming by rail, Chichester station is about 2.5 miles away. With the sea within about 5 miles, December breezes can be cold.
We take the van to Christmas parties all over PO20 and the streets around it. Close by, we cover Christmas parties in South Mundham (1 mile east), Street End (1 mile south-west), Sidlesham Common (1 mile west), Sidlesham (2 miles south-west) and Nyetimber (2 miles south-east). Larger places within reach include Bognor Regis (3 miles east), Chichester (3 miles north), Selsey (5 miles south), Littlehampton (10 miles east), Emsworth (9 miles north-west) and Rustington (11 miles east).
Nearby you will also find Chichester Cathedral Treasury (2.7 miles north) and Chichester Castle (3 miles north).
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
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.
Common questions in Fisher
Is Fisher too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For a Christmas party that feels a bit different, a fish and chip van is a great choice. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
