Festive bookings around Old Shoreham
Old Shoreham is about 1 mile west of Shoreham-by-Sea, in West Sussex. We cover Old Shoreham as standard, so your Christmas party just needs a date, a spot for the van and a serving time. Old Shoreham is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex we cover. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 7 miles away.
For anyone getting the train home after the party, the closest railway station is Shoreham-By-Sea station, roughly 0.7 miles east of the centre. If you’re organising a Christmas fair for a school like Swiss Gardens Primary School, hot fish and chips goes down well. With the sea within about a mile, December breezes can be cold, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue.

The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it is on the menu.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Diets, allergies and planning
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Collect allergies in advance
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Check the van can park on site
- Plan lighting near the hatch
We arrive in good time and set up in a lit spot before the party starts.
A bit of festive music by the van helps.
Step by step
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. At about 3:55pm in late December, it gets dark in Old Shoreham; light the path to the van.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Clear the route for the van
