How our fish and chip van for events works in Nyetimber
When there’s hot food, people stay longer. For fundraisers and village fêtes, we can cook mushy peas, curry sauce and sausage and chips for your guests.
Village fêtes and summer fairs around Nyetimber are made for a chip van. Send us the pitch and access details. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

The process
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Visitors normally gather round the hatch once service starts. December events in Nyetimber lose the light at about 4:00pm, so we need a lit pitch; in late May there is light until about 8:50pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Clear the route for the van

Running an event in Nyetimber
Nyetimber is about 2 miles south-west of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex. Bookings in Nyetimber come in all shapes and sizes, but the plan is always the same: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. Nyetimber is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex where we bring the van. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 27 miles away.
Events in parks such as Avisford need permission from the council or landowner, and the van needs a firm route onto the pitch. If you’re organising a summer fair or sports day for a school such as Rose Green Infant School, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. With the sea within about 3 miles, we plan shelter from the wind for coastal events.
We take the van to events all over PO21. Your event could be at a house on Lion Road, Hook Lane and Anson Road or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere for the van.

Questions from Nyetimber
How far is Nyetimber from London?
Roughly 57 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Nyetimber?
The closest is Bognor Regis station, roughly 2.6 miles away.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can you feed our volunteers and crew?
Yes, alongside public trading or on its own.
Do you pay a pitch fee?
We’ll talk it through when you send the details, and we will find something that works.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for visitors are worth planning.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Do you come to Nyetimber?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Nyetimber. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
