FAQs for Apuldram
Is Apuldram 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.
What’s the nearest station to Apuldram?
The closest is Chichester station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for crew.
Can you feed supporting artists too?
Yes. Let us know total numbers.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Where does the van go on location?
Normally, if there’s level, firm ground. Locations will decide where.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children usually love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
What a fish and chip van costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The date and time of year
- Service time
- Numbers
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Rough numbers for adults and children
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
A chip van compared with other options
Some locations have nowhere to buy food. The van solves that. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your shoot.

How the day works
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. At midsummer, Apuldram has light until about 9:20pm, while by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm.
- 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 the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Keep space clear for crew at the hatch
- Clear the route for the van
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
