Questions from Singleton
Is Singleton too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes. Send us the event details and the pitch information.
When should we eat?
Early in the evening typically works best. For lunchtime, we’ll work to your break.
How much does a fish and chip van for your Christmas party cost in Singleton?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your Christmas party and we will send a quote.
What if it’s raining or freezing?
The fryers are inside the van, so we carry on. Plan a short, lit route from the door to the hatch.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Organising for someone else?
Organising a club, school or community event in Singleton? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.

What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Send round an allergy question
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
Send people out in groups in the cold.
Hot drinks alongside make it even better.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- The date and time of year
- Service time
- Cod, haddock or both
- How far we travel
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A picture of the parking spot
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Rough numbers for adults and children
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.
Singleton in December: what to know
Singleton is about 5 miles north of Chichester, in West Sussex. We serve Christmas parties at drives, car parks, yards and venues around Singleton and the surrounding area. Singleton is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex where we bring the van. Our bookings stretch from Singleton to Guildford (about 24 miles away).
Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as The Parish Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards. The South Downs National Park is within about 6 miles of Singleton; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
