How the day works
Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. Afterwards we pack up. At midsummer, events in Almodington stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- You send us the event details and pitch information.
- You get our pitch needs and a quick answer on availability.
- On the day, we arrive and set up our pitch.
- We trade from the hatch all event, frying to order.
- We clear the pitch when the event closes.

Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.

Which station is closest to Almodington?
The closest is Chichester station, roughly 4.2 miles away.

What does it cost to hire the van?

Is grass a problem?
Typically, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for visitors are worth planning.

Can you cater for allergies?

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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 is crisp.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
