Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Whitehall

In winter near Whitehall, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch when you’re ready to eat. In December, it’s dark in Whitehall by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- First, tell us about your Christmas party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
How to prepare
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Tell us when you want to eat

Christmas parties in Whitehall: local tips
Whitehall is about 6 miles south-west of Horsham, in West Sussex. From the centre of Whitehall to the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh frying, hot food from the hatch and a clear price. Whitehall is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex we cover. We serve events right across the region, from Whitehall to Brighton (about 15 miles away).
A winter fair at a school like Shipley CofE Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as The Church of St Mary the Virgin draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards.
Wherever your Christmas party is in RH13, we can fry fresh for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. For Christmas parties just outside Whitehall, we cover Shipley (1 mile north-east), Broomer's Corner (1 mile west), Dragons Green (1 mile north), Dial Post (2 miles south-east) and West Grinstead (2 miles east). Within a short drive, we also cover Crawley (12 miles north-east), Horsham (6 miles north-east), Worthing (11 miles south), Haywards Heath (12 miles east), Burgess Hill (11 miles east) and Littlehampton (13 miles south-west).
Open spaces near Whitehall include Knepp Wildland.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Whitehall
Is Whitehall close to London?
Roughly 38 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come out to small places like Whitehall?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What if it’s raining or freezing?
The fryers are inside the van, so we carry on. Plan a short, lit route from the door to the hatch.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Do you do work Christmas parties?
Yes. Send us your date and site details.
Do you cater Christmas fairs?
We do. Send us the event details and the pitch information.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
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.
