Hunston questions
Can you come to a school fair in Hunston?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the van would go.
How far is Hunston from London?
About 56 miles from central London.
Do you trade at schools?
Yes. We will need a safe route onto the site away from children.
What can visitors choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can you trade at our fête or festival?
Tell us the date and pitch details and we will check.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
A chip van compared with other options
For a reliable crowd-pleaser, a fish and chip van is a great choice. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Why us?
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- All the chip-shop extras
- Rain does not stop the fryers
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Tell us expected visitor numbers
- Tell us about any school or event allergy policies
- Arrange bins and waste collection
- Settle the pitch terms early
We arrive before the gates open to set up on the pitch, at the agreed time.
A sign at the entrance tells visitors hot food is available.
Organising for someone else?
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.

Step by step
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. At midsummer, events in Hunston stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Hunston events: pitches and permissions
Hunston is about 2 miles south of Chichester, in West Sussex. Across the PO20 area, we can bring the van to you. We take the van to all 371 towns and villages in West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. We serve events right across the region, from Hunston to Brighton (about 28 miles away).
For anyone arriving by train, Chichester station is about 1.5 miles away. Running a fête for a church like St Leodegar's Church? A chip van draws people in. The coast is within about 5 miles of Hunston, so for seaside events we plan a sheltered pitch, and fish and chips sells well by the sea.
Anywhere in PO20, we can fry fresh for your visitors, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Streets in the area include Heath Close, Westlands Road and St Leodegars Way, and the van can serve an event on any of them with a suitable parking spot.

- Pubs nearby include The Spotted Cow Public House (within half a mile north-east)
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
