DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Takeaway rarely reaches a location hot. A van cooks at the unit base. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.

What happens on the day
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. Sunset in West Itchenor is about 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; for early or late service, base needs 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.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

West Itchenor questions
Can you serve near the sea around West Itchenor?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
What’s the nearest station to West Itchenor?
Bosham station, about 2.9 miles north of the centre.
Where does the van go on location?
Yes, wherever locations agree.
Do you come to West Itchenor?
Yes, we do. We serve events in West Itchenor and across West Sussex. Send us your date to check availability.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before booking.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
