Christmas party fish and chips in Flansham, cooked to order
December dates book up early, so it pays to ask early. Popular choices include cod and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for christmas fairs and lights switch-ons and work Christmas parties.
Near Flansham, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Plan lighting near the hatch
- Confirm allergies by email
- Send round an allergy question
- Have a back-up for special diets
We park somewhere lit and get the fryers hot before the party starts.
A bit of festive music by the van helps.

Christmas parties in Flansham: local tips
Flansham is about 2 miles north-east of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex. We cover Flansham as standard, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. We serve 371 places in West Sussex. Our bookings stretch from Flansham to Brighton (about 22 miles away).
If a church like Bilsham Chapel is running a Christmas fair, a chip van is a welcome sight on a cold evening. Train travellers will want to know that Barnham station is about 1.9 miles away. The coast is within about 3 miles of Flansham, and winter sea winds can be bitter.

If your venue is just outside Flansham, we also cover Bilsham (1 mile east), Lidsey (2 miles north-west), Shripney (2 miles west), Yapton (2 miles north-east) and Barnham (2 miles north). Within a short drive, we also cover Worthing (11 miles east), Chichester (7 miles west), Selsey (8 miles south-west), Littlehampton (5 miles east), Lancing (14 miles east) and Emsworth (13 miles west).

- Nearby schools include Felpham Community College (1 mile south-west)
A chip van compared with other options
Takeaway for a whole office arrives late and cold. The van fries on site. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Why Flansham hosts choose us
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- A menu almost everyone likes
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
For event organisers in Flansham
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Questions from Flansham
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Could you trade in The Brooks Local Nature Reserve?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
What time should the van serve at a Christmas party?
Whenever suits your party. Remember it’s dark by about 4pm in December.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What affects the price in Flansham
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The length of service
- The minimum booking
- The date and time of year
- The menu and how many choices
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. A short menu is often the best value.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Expected numbers
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. When you are ready, fill in our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A spot near your guests
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
