Christmas party fish and chips in Sidlesham Common
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.

FAQs for Sidlesham Common

Chichester station, about 2.6 miles north of the centre.

Roughly 57 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
How much does a fish and chip van for your Christmas party cost in Sidlesham Common?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.

Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
What time is best for food?
Early in the evening generally works best, before the drinks really flow. For a lunch, tell us your break time.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
For event organisers in Sidlesham Common
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
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.
Space, access and the venue
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
