Christmas party fish and chips in Middleton-on-Sea, cooked to order
A Christmas party does not have to mean another turkey dinner. Hot fish and chips on a cold December day is festive in its own way. On the menu are pie and chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for office Christmas parties and festive open days.
In Middleton-on-Sea, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. The van needs a lit spot and a firm surface. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
- Ensure the van and queue are well lit
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- Have a back-up for special diets
For a work party, food early in the evening usually works best.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.

FAQs for Middleton-on-Sea
Which station is closest to Middleton-on-Sea?
Bognor Regis station, about 2.5 miles west of the centre.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
Can you come to our office Christmas party?
Yes. Send us your date and site details as early as you can.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Festive bookings around Middleton-on-Sea
Middleton-on-Sea is about 3 miles east of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex. People in Middleton-on-Sea 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. We take the van to 371 places in West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. We serve events right across the region, from Middleton-on-Sea to Brighton (about 22 miles away).
If you are organising a Christmas fair for a school like Bishop Tufnell CofE Primary School, hot fish and chips goes down well. Christmas fairs at a church such as St Nicholas Church can book the van as a hot-food stall. The coast is within about 3 miles of Middleton-on-Sea, and winter sea winds can be bitter, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue.

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
