Staff lunches in Sidlesham Common: access and travel
Sidlesham Common is about 3 miles south of Chichester, in West Sussex. People in Sidlesham Common book us for all sorts of reasons, but the plan is always the same: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. Sidlesham Common is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex where we bring the van. Our bookings stretch from Sidlesham Common to Southampton (27 miles away).
Sidlesham Common sits roughly 57 miles from central London, well within our area. The coast is within about 5 miles, so a chip van lunch feels like a day at the seaside.
Wherever your staff event is in PO20, we can bring the van to you. Whether your staff event is on Chichester Road and Jury Lane or anywhere nearby, we can park up and fry there. Nearby, we also serve staff events in Street End (1 mile south-east), Sidlesham (1 mile south), Fisher (1 mile east), Keynor Estate (2 miles south) and South Mundham (2 miles east). Larger places within reach include Bognor Regis (5 miles east), Chichester (3 miles north), Selsey (4 miles south), Littlehampton (12 miles east), Emsworth (7 miles north-west) and Rustington (13 miles east).

Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Share the shift pattern
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Find out what documents the site needs
We get there ahead of the lunch break, so we are ready when the first group comes out.
A simple pre-order helps us plan.
Space, access and the venue
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A spot near your staff
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your staff event. Summer events after work in Sidlesham Common have light until about 9:20pm; in late May it’s about 8:50pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a sandwich platter, a chip van feels like a proper treat. Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.

- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
Take a look at our pricing or what a fish and chip van costs.
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 you get to enjoy the day.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
For planners, venues and organisers
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
What affects the price in Sidlesham Common
These are the factors that matter most:
- How long we serve
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The minimum booking
- The date and time of year
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What to tell us
The more we know about your staff event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Where the event is
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- A photo of the parking spot
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.
Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and children love it.
