How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Goose Green
The Christmas season is short and busy, so ask as soon as you know yours. We serve haddock and chips, gravy and cod and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater end-of-year customer events and school and PTA Christmas fairs.
For a Christmas party near Goose Green, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are often soft. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Festive bookings around Goose Green
Goose Green is about 9 miles south-west of Horsham, in West Sussex. For Christmas parties in Goose Green, the van can park on drives, in car parks and yards, and on firm lawns and fields. We serve all 371 towns and villages in West Sussex. We serve events right across the region, from Goose Green to Brighton (15 miles away).
Christmas fairs at a church such as The Parish Church of St Mary can book the van as a hot-food stall. A winter fair at a school like Rydon Community College gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. Goose Green is within about 7 miles of the South Downs National Park, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route.
For Christmas parties in RH20, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many guests. Whether your Christmas party is on Goosegreen Lane and Cray's Lane or anywhere nearby, we’ll bring the van to you.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
