About our Christmas party fish and chips in Kingston Gorse
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons suit a chip van too, with hot food for visitors in the cold. Popular choices include pie and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and we are regularly asked to cater new Year parties and end-of-year club parties.
In winter near Kingston Gorse, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
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 you get to enjoy the day.
Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Flat, firm ground for the van
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Popular choices
- Curry sauce
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
- Gravy
Why choose a fish and chip van in Kingston Gorse?
Hog roasts are a Christmas favourite, but it is one dish. A van offers fish, sausages and pies. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
What you get with us
- We cover Kingston Gorse and the whole of West Sussex
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- All the chip-shop extras
- Classic food your guests already know
Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Choose a lit spot for the van
- Check the van can park on site
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
Park the van close to the door.
Paper hats and crackers on the tables add to the fun.

Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Kingston Gorse
Which station is closest to Kingston Gorse?
Goring-By-Sea station, about 1.5 miles north-east of the centre.
Can you serve near the sea around Kingston Gorse?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Do you cater Christmas fairs?
Yes, and hot food goes down well in December. Send us the details.
What if it’s raining or freezing?
The fryers are inside the van, so we carry on. Plan a short, lit route from the door to the hatch.
Do you cover Kingston Gorse?
We do. Kingston Gorse is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Step by step
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. An afternoon Christmas party in Kingston Gorse can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 4:00pm; light the path to the van.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
How to get a price
Still finalising the details? That is fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. To start, use our quote form.
