Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Distance and any road charges
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Service time
- The number of meals
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Where the van would park
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Dietary needs, with numbers
It is easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll come back with a clear quote.

How it works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. December in Apuldram means early darkness: the light goes at about 4:00pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- First, tell us about your Christmas party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
How to prepare

Apuldram: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Apuldram?
The closest is Chichester station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
How far is Apuldram from London?
About 56 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
When do Christmas bookings fill up?
Ideally in the summer or early autumn.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Do you cater Christmas fairs?
Yes, it is a popular stall. Send us the details.
What time is best for food?
At the time you choose. Plan lighting, as it is dark early.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Before you choose a spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
What we serve
- Curry sauce
- Gravy
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Organising for someone else?
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
- 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
