About our fish and chip van for events in Bedham
Give us the date, pitch and expected numbers, and we will tell you quickly whether we can come. Whether it is church fêtes and fish and chip suppers and community festivals, we can cook sausage and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas for your guests.
At a field event near Bedham, power and water may be limited; let us know and we will plan for it. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Bedham
What’s the nearest station to Bedham?
The closest is Pulborough station, roughly 2.1 miles away.
Is Bedham close to London?
About 42 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, West Sussex included. Find your area.
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.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac visitors when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can the van come to Bedham?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Bedham and across West Sussex. Send us your date to check availability.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Ensure allergen information is available
- Plan bins near food stalls
- Agree the terms in writing
- Share any nut or allergy policies
Mark out the queue area away from walkways, especially near rides and games.
Pre-selling meal tickets helps us plan.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a volunteer barbecue, a chip van frees your helpers. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
What you get with us
- We cover Bedham and the whole of West Sussex
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Quick service from the hatch
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
See our pricing and the cost guide.
Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and children love it.
Planners, venues and businesses
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Organising a club, school or community event in Bedham? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
How we price a fish and chip van for your event
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The minimum booking
- The menu and how many choices
- How long we serve
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The address or venue name
- Where the van would park
- Allergies and diets you know about
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A photo of the spot helps too. When you are ready, fill in our quote form.
Step by step
The first sign we’ve arrived is generally the smell, about the time the first visitors wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. Summer events in Bedham have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your visitors.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
How to prepare
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Share the timings for the day
