How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Offington
We plan winter events around the dark and the weather: a lit, sheltered spot, and service timed so people are not outside for long. On the menu are mushy peas, haddock and chips and curry sauce, and we’re often booked for PTA Christmas events and office Christmas parties.
In a small place like Offington, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Step by step
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. In December, it is dark in Offington by about 4:00pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.

- 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.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
- Agree the spot with the venue
Afterwards, we pack up.
A bit of festive music by the van helps.
About the food
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Space, access and the venue
We will be honest if a spot won’t work, and help find another. What matters most:
- A spot near your guests
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Confirmation that the van can park there
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as Thomas A Becket Junior School, suit a chip van. If people are coming by rail, West Worthing station is about 1.1 miles away. With the sea within about 2 miles, December breezes can be cold.
Christmas parties anywhere in BN14 and BN13 start with a parking spot for the van and roughly how many guests. Local streets include Rogate Road, Warren Road and Hall Avenue; a Christmas party on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park.

Organising for someone else?
Having the party at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Common questions in Offington
Is Offington too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Offington?
West Worthing station, about 1.1 miles south of the centre.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.

Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Next to a Christmas meal out, a van brings the meal to the team. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
