Common questions in Broadwater
What’s the nearest station to Broadwater?
Worthing station, about 0.7 miles south of the centre.
Could you trade in Beach House Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What can guests choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Do you cater Christmas fairs?
Yes, it’s a popular stall. Get in touch with the date.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is usually simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.

Occasions we serve in Broadwater
Christmas dinner fatigue is real, so a chip van makes a nice change.
A fish and chip van suits almost any gathering. People in Broadwater book the van for events such as:
- End-of-year club parties
- School and PTA Christmas fairs
- Depot Christmas treats
- Christmas customer days
A winter fair at a school like Broadwater CofE Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular.

- Any travel, parking or access charges
- Allergen information for each item
- When final numbers are due
- Whether VAT is included
How it works
Here’s how the day normally runs: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. In December, it is dark in Broadwater by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, 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
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
