Fish and chip van for events for Fulking events
Fish and chip van for events in Fulking, cooked to order
The smell of fish and chips brings a queue to any fête. A chip van gives organisers a hot-food trader that almost everyone wants. Whether it’s food for volunteers and church fêtes, we will put together a menu of curry sauce, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
Near Fulking, events may be far from shops and cafés, so fish and chips goes down well. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Questions from Fulking
What about events near the coast?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Which station is closest to Fulking?
The closest is Portslade station, roughly 3.9 miles away.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for visitors.
Do you cover Fulking?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Fulking and across West Sussex. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Do you trade at schools?
Yes, with the school’s permission for the van on site. Send us the date and the spot.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What does the van need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
How it works
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Visitors usually gather round the hatch once service starts. December events in Fulking lose the light at about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; spring events have light until about 8:50pm by late May.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the 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.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Share the timings for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Organising for someone else?
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Hosting at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
