Which station is closest to Bosham?
Bosham station, about 0.8 miles north-east of the centre.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
How long will the queue be?

Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac visitors and we will explain the options before booking.
Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Have other stalls for special diets
- Give us an idea of numbers
- Agree who removes waste
- Ask traders for allergen information to display
When the event closes, we pack up.
A clear route for the van before the gates open avoids problems.
How the day works
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. Summer fêtes in Bosham have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September the light goes at about 7:05pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
