Running a fête for a church like St Symphorian's Church? A chip van draws people in. Events in parks such as Durrington Minature Railway need permission from the council or landowner, and the van needs a firm route onto the pitch. Events in and around the South Downs National Park, within about 8 miles of Salvington, often have rules about vehicles, ground and waste; we work to the site rules. With the sea within about 3 miles, we plan shelter from the wind for coastal events, and fish and chips sells well by the sea.

Fish and chip van for events in Salvington, cooked to order
A hot-food van gives families a reason to stay longer, which is good for every other stall. We serve cod and chips, chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for village fêtes and church fêtes.
In Salvington, one popular trader keeps it simple. A chip van does that. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
