Fish and chip van for events in Lagness, cooked to order
The van is self-sufficient on the pitch, which helps volunteer-run events. Whether it is festivals and agricultural and country shows, we will put together a menu of chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips and more.
Rural events near Lagness can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so fish and chips goes down well. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is a favourite in colder months.
What happens on the day
Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. Afterwards we pack up. Summer events in Lagness have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs 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.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure the van can get in
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Lagness events: pitches and permissions
Lagness is about 2 miles west of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex. In and around Lagness, the van can serve from a drive, a yard, a car park or a firm field. Lagness is one of 371 places in West Sussex we cover. Our bookings stretch from Lagness to Brighton (26 miles away).
Running a fête for a church like Church of St Giles? A chip van draws people in. For anyone arriving by train, Bognor Regis station is about 2.5 miles away. The coast is within about 3 miles of Lagness, so for seaside events we plan a sheltered pitch, and fish and chips sells well by the sea.
Anywhere in PO20, we can bring the van to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. We also bring the van to events in Runcton (1 mile north-west), Merston (1 mile north), North Mundham (2 miles north-west), Colworth (2 miles north-east) and Hunston (2 miles west). Further out, we also take the van to Worthing (14 miles east), Chichester (4 miles north-west), Selsey (5 miles south-west), Littlehampton (9 miles east), Emsworth (10 miles west) and Rustington (10 miles east).
Well-known places in the area include Tote Copse Castle (2.9 miles north-east) and Bognor Regis Museum (2.5 miles south-east).
- Schools near Lagness include The Regis School (1.7 miles east)
Occasions we serve in Lagness
It is a hot meal for helpers as well.
Big or small, the van works the same way. Common bookings include:
- Summer fairs
- School summer fairs
- Food for volunteers
- Community festivals
If you are organising a summer fair or sports day for a school such as Rose Green Junior School, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser.
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the event is cancelled or moved
- How allergens are handled
- What the van needs: space, access, power
- The minimum number of meals or minimum spend
Diets, allergies and planning
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Settle the pitch terms early
- Tell us about the pitch
- Let us know about allergy rules on site
- Agree who removes waste
When the event closes, we pack up.
Pre-sold meal tickets can help at fundraisers.
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
- Firm, level ground for the pitch
- A clear route onto the pitch
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
On the menu in Lagness
- Curry sauce
- Sausage and chips
- Chips
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
What a fish and chip van costs
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Your choice of menu
- Distance and any road charges
- How long we serve
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your event.
What we need to know
These details help us quote quickly:
- A picture of where the van would go
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Any dietary needs and allergies
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.

Questions from Lagness
Can the van park in Avisford?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first.
What about events near the coast?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for visitors.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you pay a pitch fee?
It depends on the event: pitch fee, percentage or minimum. We’ll agree it in writing.
