Earnley: your questions answered
Is Earnley too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Earnley from London?
About 60 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you cover Earnley?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Earnley and across West Sussex. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
How does payment work for businesses?
We’ll talk you through booking and payment for businesses.
Is grass a problem?
Normally, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
How we price a fish and chip van for your team
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- The day of the week
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Access and parking
- Your choice of menu
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 staff event.
Details that help
The more we know about your staff event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The venue or postcode
- The date and time of the event
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
Still finalising the details? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will quote on that. To start, use our quote form.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A meal out takes everyone off site. The van brings lunch to the team. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Why Earnley hosts choose us
- All the chip-shop extras
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- A clear quote before you book

Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s 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
