FAQs for Shripney
Is Shripney close to London?
About 54 miles from central London.
Is Shripney too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac visitors when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and children love it.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Running an event in Shripney
Shripney is about 2 miles north-east of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex. For an event in Shripney, the van can park on drives, in car parks and yards, and on firm lawns and fields. We take the van to 371 places in West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Shripney to Brighton (about 24 miles away).
A school like Bersted Green Primary School can book the van for a fair, fun run or sports day. A summer fête at Holy Cross Church is the classic setting for a fish and chip van. With the sea within about 2 miles, we plan shelter from the wind for coastal events, and fish and chips sells well by the sea.
Wherever your event is in PO22, we can fry fresh for your visitors. Local streets include Shripney Lane, Shripney Road and The Marigolds; an event on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. Neighbouring places where we serve events include Lidsey (1 mile north-east), Flansham (2 miles east), Westergate (2 miles north), Aldingbourne (2 miles north) and Eastergate (2 miles north). Larger places within reach include Worthing (12 miles east), Chichester (5 miles north-west), Selsey (7 miles south-west), Littlehampton (6 miles east), Lancing (15 miles east) and Emsworth (12 miles west).

Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few visitors with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Share any nut or allergy policies
- Settle the pitch terms early
- Ask traders for allergen information to display
- Offer a choice of traders where you can
If we’re feeding volunteers, agree a time that suits the schedule.
A sign at the entrance tells visitors hot food is available.
How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. Summer events in Shripney have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your visitors.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Get permission for the van from the venue
Getting a price
Send us the date, the address or PO22 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and we will reply with a quote. Just fill in our quote form.
