A fish and chip van or other catering?
Wrap parties add up. A van makes a relaxed wrap. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
Why book our van in West Stoke
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- Events in West Stoke and across West Sussex
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
See our pricing and our guide to van hire costs.
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
