FAQs for Southwick
Is Southwick too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.

Portchester station, about 1.9 miles south of the centre.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.

Where will the van go on our site?
Frequently, with a level spot and the site’s agreement. Facilities will decide the spot.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
