Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a delivery order, the van cooks on site, so food is hot when it reaches residents. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
Why book with us
- A menu almost everyone likes
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- Events in Hambrook and across West Sussex
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather

The process
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Your residents can wander over to the hatch once service starts. Garden visits in Hambrook work best between late spring and early autumn, with sunset about 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear 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.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
