Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:

Agree a wet-weather pitch on hard standing in case the ground is soft.

How our fish and chip van for events works in Felpham
Everything is cooked as people come up, so nothing sits waiting. On the menu are chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater fundraisers and agricultural and country shows.
Events near Felpham are often volunteer-run, so a trader who brings everything is a bonus. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

How we price a fish and chip van for your event
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Distance and any road charges
- How long we serve
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.

Where the van can park in Felpham
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that does not block walkways
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
- A clear route onto the pitch
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we serve
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Chips
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Curry sauce
The process
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. Evening events in Felpham have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Plan where the queue will stand

Why choose a fish and chip van in Felpham?
Compared with a barbecue run by volunteers, a chip van frees your helpers. Larger groups generally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.

Common questions in Felpham
Is Felpham close to London?
About 55 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you serve near the sea around Felpham?
Yes. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Planners, venues and businesses
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
