Christmas parties in West Itchenor: local tips

Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as St Nicholas' Church draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards. With the sea within about 6 miles, December breezes can be cold, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue.

Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
What happens on the day
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. It gets dark in West Itchenor by about 4:00pm at Christmas; park the van where there’s good light.
