How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- The day of the week
- Cod, haddock or both
- The minimum booking
- How easy the site is to reach
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
The more we know about your Christmas party, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Where the van would park
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A photo of the parking spot
- Rough numbers for adults and children
Each quote is put together for your Christmas party. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
About our Christmas party fish and chips in Shripney
The van parks outside and serves hot food, without anyone leaving site. Popular choices include pie and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips, and we are often booked for christmas customer days and school and PTA Christmas fairs.
In winter near Shripney, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. We plan the timings around your day, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Planning a Christmas party in Shripney
Shripney is about 2 miles north-east of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex. Wherever your Christmas party is in the PO22 area, we’ll come to your venue, home or workplace. Shripney is one of 371 places in West Sussex we cover. Our bookings stretch from Shripney to Brighton (24 miles away).
Train travellers will want to know that the closest railway station is Bognor Regis station, roughly 1.7 miles south of the centre. A Christmas fair at Holy Cross Church is just the kind of event a chip van suits. The coast is within about 2 miles of Shripney, and winter sea winds can be bitter, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
For Christmas parties in PO22, we just need to know where the van can park. From Shripney Lane, Shripney Road and The Marigolds or anywhere nearby, we will bring the van to you. Other places close to Shripney we cover include Lidsey (1 mile north-east), Flansham (2 miles east), Westergate (2 miles north), Aldingbourne (2 miles north) and Eastergate (2 miles north). Within a short drive, we also cover Worthing (12 miles east), Chichester (5 miles north-west), Selsey (7 miles south-west), Littlehampton (6 miles east), Lancing (15 miles east) and Emsworth (12 miles west).
Well-known places in the area include Tote Copse Castle (1.8 miles north-west) and Bognor Regis Museum (2.1 miles south).
- Nearby schools include Felpham Community College (1.4 miles south-east) and The Regis School (1.5 miles south-west)
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Send round an allergy question
- Confirm allergies by email
- Choose a lit spot for the van
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for

A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.

About the food
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
The process
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. It gets dark in Shripney by about 4:00pm at Christmas; park the van where there’s good light, and keep the walk short.
- We start with a few details about your Christmas party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Clear the route for the van

Shripney: your questions answered
Is Shripney close to London?
About 54 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the van park in The Brooks Local Nature Reserve?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
Do you cover Shripney?
We do. Shripney is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
How much does a fish and chip van for your Christmas party cost in Shripney?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A Christmas party at a venue costs more per head. A van can be better value. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.
