Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Activities are important; a van visit combines a meal with an activity. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
What you get with us
- Quick service from the hatch
- A clear quote before you book
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather

Pagham questions
How far is Pagham from London?
Roughly 58 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Can the van park on grass?
Normally, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
What can residents choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Do you come to Pagham?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Pagham and across West Sussex. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.

How we price a fish and chip van visit
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Numbers
- Distance and any road charges
- Cod, haddock or both
- The day of the week
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Your date and serving time
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- A picture of where the van would go
- Dietary needs, with numbers

Working with your venue
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
