Christmas catering near West Green
West Green is about 1 mile north of Crawley, in West Sussex. Wherever your Christmas party is in the RH11 area, we can bring the van to you. West Green is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex we cover. You can also see our page for Guildford, about 19 miles away.
A winter fair at a school like West Green Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. If a church like Voice of Deliverance Full Gospel Church of God is running a Christmas fair, a chip van is a welcome sight on a cold evening.
For Christmas parties in RH11 and RH10, we just need to know where the van can park. We can serve a Christmas party on streets such as Bank Lane, Swift Lane and Raven Lane or the roads around them, wherever the van can park. We also bring the van to Christmas parties in Langley Green (1 mile north), Crawley (1 mile south), Southgate (1 mile south), Three Bridges (1 mile east) and Tilgate (1 mile south-east).

About our Christmas party fish and chips in West Green
It’s a crowd-pleaser, which makes it ideal for a big, mixed group. Whether it’s festive gatherings after Christmas and christmas markets and fairs, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
In West Green, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. The van needs a lit spot and a firm surface. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
West Green questions
Which station is closest to West Green?
The closest is Crawley station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Is West Green close to London?
Roughly 26 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Will the weather be a problem?
Not for the cooking. Plan cover and lighting for the queue.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
- Put allergy details in writing
- Book as early as possible for December
- Plan lighting near the hatch
Plan cover for the queue.
Hot drinks alongside make it even better.

- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.

- Cod, haddock or both
- Parking and the way in
- Distance and any road charges
- Numbers
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.
