How our fish and chip van for events works in Felcourt
Everything is cooked as people come up, so it is hot and crisp. Typical bookings include food for volunteers and church fêtes, serving haddock and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
A fête near Felcourt might be on a field with no mains power; tell us what’s available and we will plan around it. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Service time
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The day of the week
- Cod, haddock or both
Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- The date and time of the event
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- A photo of the parking spot
- Where the van would park
Still finalising the details? That’s fine: tell us the basics about your event, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. Start when you’re ready: send us your details through our quote form.
What happens on the day
We don’t cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. Evening events in Felcourt have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Other occasions in Felcourt
Felcourt questions
Can the van go to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you trade at school fairs around Felcourt?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can you trade at our fête or festival?
Often, yes. Get in touch with the details.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
What can visitors choose from?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Do you cover Felcourt?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Felcourt and the rest of West Sussex. To check your date, use our quote form.
For event organisers in Felcourt
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
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.
