Fish and chip van for events for Bury events
How it works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. At midsummer, events in Bury stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- 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.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Give us a contact for the day

How our fish and chip van for events works in Bury
Few things draw a crowd at a fête or festival like the smell of fish and chips. A chip van gives organisers a hot-food trader that almost everyone wants. We serve haddock and chips, chips and sausage and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater community festivals and food for volunteers.
At a fête or show near Bury, a chip van brings hot food to a rural site. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Fairs, fêtes and events in Bury
Bury is about 7 miles north of Littlehampton, in West Sussex. We serve events at drives, car parks, yards and venues around Bury. Bury is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex where we bring the van. Our bookings stretch from Bury to Brighton (20 miles away).
If you’re organising a summer fair or sports day for a school such as Bury CofE Primary School, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. For a church fête or fundraiser, at a church such as The Parish Church of St John the Evangelist, a chip van adds hot food to the cakes and tombola. Within about 2 miles is the South Downs National Park, where events may have extra rules on vehicles and waste; we work to the site rules.
Events anywhere in RH20 start with a parking spot for the van and a serving time. Local streets include The Street, Houghton Lane and Coombe Crescent; an event on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. We also bring the van to events in West Burton (1 mile north-west), Amberley (1 mile east), Watersfield (2 miles north), Cross Gate (2 miles east) and Coldwaltham (2 miles north-east).

How we price a fish and chip van for your event
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- Service time
- The date and time of year

The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.
Getting an accurate quote
To speed things up, tell us:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- A photo of the space and the way in

For planners, venues and organisers
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
