The process
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. After-work summer events in West Dean have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Clear the route for the van

Planning help
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Send round an allergy question
We get there ahead of the lunch break, so service starts on time.
Make it a regular thing: monthly or quarterly.
For event organisers in West Dean
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, 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 hold the date.
West Dean for staff days and team lunches
West Dean is about 4 miles north of Chichester, in West Sussex. We cover West Dean as standard, so your staff event just needs a date, a spot for the van and a serving time. We cover 371 places in West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. We serve events right across the region, from West Dean to Guildford (about 25 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include West Dean House (within half a mile north-east) and Goodwood House (2.9 miles south-east). Estates and historic houses can make memorable settings for client events, but they usually set strict rules for vehicles. For staff and visitors coming by train, Fishbourne station is about 4.8 miles away. With the South Downs National Park within about 6 miles, rural team days are easy to arrange.
This part of West Sussex takes in PO18, so your staff event can be anywhere in it. Close by, we cover staff events in Singleton (1 mile east), Charlton (2 miles east), East Dean (3 miles east), Cocking (3 miles north) and Bepton (4 miles north). Within a short drive, we also cover Bognor Regis (9 miles south-east), Chichester (4 miles south), Selsey (12 miles south), Littlehampton (13 miles south-east), Emsworth (8 miles south-west) and Rustington (13 miles south-east).
Nearby you’ll also find Chichester Castle (4.5 miles south) and Museum of Gardening (within half a mile north-east). The countryside around West Dean includes Levin Down and Kingley Vale National Nature Reserve.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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 nobody has to miss the staff event.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.

The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.

If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
