Fish and chip van for events in Pagham
Should I sort the food myself?
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 solves that by cooking on site.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

- The date and time of year
- The number of meals

Step by step
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. At midsummer, events in Pagham stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your visitors.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Have a hard-standing back-up pitch in case the ground is soft.

Pagham questions
How far is Pagham from London?
Roughly 58 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station is closest to Pagham?
The closest is Bognor Regis station, roughly 3.2 miles away.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
How do you charge at fêtes?
That varies: pitch fee, percentage or minimum. We’ll agree terms before the day.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How much does a fish and chip van for your event cost in Pagham?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
