Christmas party fish and chips in Shipton Green, cooked to order
The Christmas season is short and busy, so it pays to ask early. Typical bookings include christmas customer days and christmas markets and fairs, serving haddock and chips, curry sauce and pie and chips.
In a small place like Shipton Green, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Everything is fried fresh at your Christmas party, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

Organising for someone else?

If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Festive bookings around Shipton Green
Shipton Green is about 5 miles south-west of Chichester, in West Sussex. We cover Shipton Green as standard, so your Christmas party just needs a date, a spot for the van and a serving time. Shipton Green is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex we cover. Our bookings stretch from Shipton Green to Southampton (about 25 miles away).
If a church like St Nicholas' Church is running a Christmas fair, a chip van is a welcome sight on a cold evening. For colleagues travelling by train, the closest railway station is Bosham station, roughly 3.6 miles north of the centre. The coast is within about 6 miles of Shipton Green, and winter sea winds can be bitter.
Anywhere in PO20, we can bring the van to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Local streets include Shipton Green Lane and Itchenor Road; a Christmas party on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. We also bring the van to Christmas parties in Somerley (1 mile south-east), Birdham (1 mile east), Almodington (2 miles south-east), Earnley (2 miles south) and East Wittering (2 miles south). Within a short drive, we also cover Bognor Regis (7 miles east), Chichester (5 miles north-east), Selsey (5 miles south-east), Littlehampton (14 miles east), Emsworth (5 miles north-west) and Rustington (15 miles east).

About the food
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and children love it.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Shipton Green: your questions answered
What about events near the coast?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Is Shipton Green too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Do you come to Shipton Green?
We do. We serve events in Shipton Green and across West Sussex. Tell us your date and we will check availability.

The process
Here’s how the day usually runs: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot when you are ready to eat. By about 4:00pm in late December, it’s dark in Shipton Green; choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Events we cater in Shipton Green
It’s hot food on a cold day.
Big or small, the van works the same way. Common bookings include:
- Christmas family parties
- Christmas customer days
- Festive gatherings after Christmas
- PTA Christmas events
PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as Birdham CE Primary School, suit a chip van.
Comparing caterers
- How much space the van takes up
- What happens if the event is cancelled or moved
- Any travel, parking or access charges
- Whether VAT is included
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
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.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Send round an allergy question
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Ensure the van and queue are well lit
- Book as early as possible for December
A gazebo or covered doorway near the hatch helps on a wet night.
Festive lights by the van look great.
