How it works
Here’s how the day usually runs: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch when you are ready to eat. Evening events in Ebernoe have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

What a fish and chip van costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- The minimum booking
- How far we travel
- How many people are eating
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.
What we need to know
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Where the van would park
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The address or venue name
Still finalising the details? No problem: tell us the basics about your event, and we will firm it up nearer the time. To start, fill in our quote form.
Food your guests will love
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and children love it.
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
Common questions in Ebernoe
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Is Ebernoe too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you trade at schools?
Yes, once the school agrees where the van goes. Tell us the date and where the van would park.
Do you come to Ebernoe?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Ebernoe and across West Sussex. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
Where the van can park in Ebernoe
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. In general, we need:
- Firm, level ground for the pitch
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
- A queue area clear of rides and games
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
