Christmas parties in Westergate: local tips
Westergate is about 3 miles north of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex. Whether your Christmas party is in the middle of Westergate or on the outskirts, the service works the same way: fresh frying, hot food from the hatch and a clear price. We serve all 371 towns and villages across West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Brighton, about 23 miles away.
Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as Westergate Mission Hall draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards. If you are organising a Christmas fair for a school like Aldingbourne Primary School, hot fish and chips goes down well. The South Downs National Park is within about 8 miles of Westergate; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning. The coast is within about 4 miles of Westergate, and winter sea winds can be bitter, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
This part of West Sussex takes in PO20. We can serve a Christmas party on streets such as Oaks Close, Westergate Street and Rosvara Avenue, as long as there’s somewhere for the van. If your venue is just outside Westergate, we also cover Nyton (1 mile north-west), Eastergate (1 mile east), Aldingbourne (1 mile west), Norton (1 mile north-west) and West Barnham (1 mile east).

How it works
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch when you’re ready to eat. An afternoon Christmas party in Westergate can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 4:00pm, so put the van where there is good light.

Common questions in Westergate
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Which station is closest to Westergate?
Barnham station, about 1.3 miles east of the centre.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
What if it is raining or freezing?
Not for the cooking. Guests appreciate cover and a short walk.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is normally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
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 cooks in front of your guests instead.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
