Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Colworth
What’s the nearest station to Colworth?
Bognor Regis station, about 2.5 miles south-east of the centre.
Could you trade in The Brooks Local Nature Reserve?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you offer repeat visits?
Tell us how frequently you’d like a visit.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Where should the van go?
In the car park or on the drive, away from ambulance routes.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Can the van park on grass?
Typically, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- How many people are eating
- Any minimum charge
- Distance and any road charges
- Cod, haddock or both
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- A picture of the space and the way in
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, use our quote form.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a takeaway delivery, the van cooks on site, so food is hot when it reaches residents. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Why us?
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- No surprises in your quote
- A menu almost everyone likes
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
Take a look at our prices page and the cost guide.
Where the van can park in Colworth

- Not right beside residents’ rooms
- Clear of ambulance access and emergency routes
- A level parking spot near the entrance
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

About the food
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
Working with your venue
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Looking after everyone
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Let us know if smaller portions suit
- Organise staff to carry food in
- Fit the visit around routines
- Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen
We set up before the mealtime, quietly.
Old seaside postcards and photos spark conversation.
How the day works
Changes on the day are fine: we can start a little later or slow the pace. With darkness by about 4:00pm in December, winter van visits in Colworth suit lunchtime, while summer visits can run into the evening, with light until about 9:20pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
