How the day works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. In summer, Warnham has daylight until about 9:20pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The length of service
- How easy the site is to reach
- How many people are eating
- Whether a minimum applies
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The venue or postcode
- The date and time of the event
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Rough numbers for adults and children
Each quote is put together for your care home visit. Start with your date, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Warnham
Can the van go to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can the van park in Warnham Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first.
Can everyone take part?
Yes, with meals for texture-modified diets from the home’s own kitchen.
Do you cover Warnham?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Warnham and across West Sussex. Tell us your date and we will check availability.

A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.

We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we’ll reply with a price.

Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.

Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Organising for someone else?
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Warnham? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.

Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Let us know if smaller portions suit
- List residents’ diets, allergies and portion needs
- Involve the kitchen and care team early
Staff carry plates to residents who can’t come outside, while it’s hot.
A seaside theme with bunting adds to the fun.
