Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.

If you’re organising a summer fair or sports day for a school such as North Mundham Primary School, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. For visitors coming by rail, the closest railway station is Chichester station, roughly 1.9 miles north-west of the centre. With the sea within about 4 miles, we plan shelter from the wind for coastal events, and fish and chips sells well by the sea.
This part of West Sussex takes in PO20, so your event can be anywhere in it. Whether your event is on Goodwood Gardens, Brookside and Lagness Road or anywhere nearby, we can park up and fry there.

Questions from Runcton
Which station is closest to Runcton?
The closest is Chichester station, roughly 1.9 miles away.
Can you come to a school fair in Runcton?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Can you come to a school event?
Yes, once the school agrees where the van goes. Send us the date and the spot.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
How big a pitch do you need?
Tell us the pitch size and ground, and we will check it works.
What happens if it rains?
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.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Planning the van’s spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A wet-weather pitch on hard standing
- Confirmation the van can trade there
- Access that avoids crowds
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
