Event catering near Adur
Adur is about 1 mile north-west of Shoreham-by-Sea, in West Sussex. Whether your event is in the middle of Adur or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh frying, hot food from the hatch and a clear price. Adur is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex we cover. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 7 miles away.
A summer fête at St Nicolas' Church is the classic setting for a fish and chip van. For anyone arriving by train, the nearest station is Shoreham-By-Sea station, about 1.5 miles south-east. With the sea within about 2 miles, we plan shelter from the wind for coastal events.
This part of West Sussex takes in BN43 and BN15. Streets in the area include Steyning Road, Coombes Road and Mill Hill, and the van can serve an event on any of them with a suitable parking spot. Close by, we cover events in Old Shoreham (1 mile south), Shoreham-by-Sea (1 mile south-east), Castle Town (2 miles north), Kingston by Sea (2 miles east) and Southwick (3 miles south-east). We also serve nearby towns such as Horsham (15 miles north), Worthing (5 miles south-west), Haywards Heath (13 miles north-east), Burgess Hill (10 miles north-east), Littlehampton (11 miles west) and Rustington (10 miles west).
A little further out are Steyning Museum (2.9 miles north-west) and Old Castle (4.9 miles south-west). The countryside around Adur includes Lancing Ring and Mill Hill.

How it works
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. Winter fairs in Adur are dark by about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; spring events have light until about 8:50pm by late May.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Share the timings for the day

Adur questions
What about events near the coast?
Yes. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
What’s the nearest station to Adur?
The closest is Shoreham-By-Sea station, roughly 1.5 miles away.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t 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.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before booking.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
