Fresh fish and chips in West Chiltington
Christmas party fish and chips in West Chiltington, fried fresh
December bookings are planned for the dark and the cold: a well-lit spot for the van and the queue, and service timed so people are not outside for long. For christmas fairs at schools and staff Christmas parties, we can cook pie and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas for your guests.
In a small place like West Chiltington, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

FAQs for West Chiltington
Which station is closest to West Chiltington?
Pulborough station, about 3 miles west of the centre.
Is West Chiltington too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
Can you come to our office Christmas party?
Yes, with a level spot such as a car park and the site’s agreement.
Can you serve in the cold?
We cook inside the van, so the weather does not stop us. Plan a short, lit route from the door to the hatch.
Do you come to West Chiltington?
We do. We serve events in West Chiltington and across West Sussex. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
About the food
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Working with your venue
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
A Christmas party at a venue costs more per head. A van in the car park keeps it simple. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
Why us?
- Something for guests to gather round
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- No surprises in your quote
- All the chip-shop extras

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
