Fish and chip van for events in Bognor Regis
How our fish and chip van for events works in Bognor Regis
A van suits shows and field events, if the ground is firm enough for vehicles. We serve chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater community open days and festivals.
Fairs, shows and festivals happen across Bognor Regis. A chip van draws a crowd. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before you book.

How we price a fish and chip van for your event
There is nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- Access and parking
- The menu and how many choices
- The date and time of year
- Whether a minimum applies
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The venue or postcode
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, fill in our quote form.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Bognor Regis?
Compared with a barbecue run by volunteers, a van means volunteers can enjoy the day. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why us?
- Hot food handed straight over
- Rain does not stop the fryers
- A van that becomes part of the event
- No surprises in your quote

Planners, venues and businesses
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Tell us about the pitch
- Set a time for helpers’ food
- Plan something for visitors we can’t cater for
- Make sure allergen information is available
If we are feeding volunteers, agree a time that suits the schedule.
A spot near the entrance or main ring works well.
How it works
The first sign we have arrived is usually the smell. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. December events in Bognor Regis lose the light at about 4:00pm, so we need a lit pitch; spring events have light until about 8:50pm by late May.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the van can get in
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.
