Before you choose a spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Light near the van after dark
- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

The process
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. December visits in East Hampnett are best at lunchtime, as it’s dark by about 4:00pm, while summer visits can run into the evening, with light until about 9:20pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Ensure the van can get in

Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in East Hampnett
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Is East Hampnett too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including West Sussex. Find your area.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Can the van park on grass?
Usually, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
Planners, venues and businesses
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in East Hampnett? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.

Your kitchen could cook it, but a van makes it an event. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
