Questions from Lancing
What about events near the coast?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Could you trade in Brooklands Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first.
What paperwork do you provide?
Send us your supplier requirements.
Can the van come to Lancing?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Lancing is within our area and the rest of West Sussex. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can you park at the unit base?
Normally, if there is level, firm ground. Locations will decide where.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including West Sussex. Find your area.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A wrap party at a venue costs more. A van makes a relaxed wrap. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

A closer look at the menu
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Give us a contact for call-time changes
- Send final numbers the day before
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
Fewer choices mean faster service in a lunch break.
Bins at base keep the location clean.
How it works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. Long summer days in Lancing, with light until about 9:20pm, suit evening wraps outdoors.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
