Fish and chip van for events for Littlehampton events
The process
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your visitors, which we agree with you beforehand. At midsummer, events in Littlehampton stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Clear the route for the van
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Fish and chip van for events in Littlehampton, fried fresh
A van suits shows and field events, if the ground is firm enough for vehicles. We serve chips, cod and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for fundraisers and school fairs and sports days.
In Littlehampton, a good food stall can make an event. A chip van is one visitors will queue for. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Have other stalls for special diets
- Tell us expected visitor numbers
- Settle the pitch terms early
- Agree when volunteers will eat
Have a hard-standing back-up pitch in case the ground is soft.
Let visitors know there’s a chip van.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Burger vans are common at events. A chip van gives visitors something different. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
What you get with us
- We cover Littlehampton and the whole of West Sussex

Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
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.
About the food
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Working with your venue
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.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Planning the van’s spot
Every site is different, so we’ll ask about yours when you contact us. In general, we need:
- Confirmation the van can trade there
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
- A wet-weather pitch on hard standing
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
