DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
- Give us an idea of numbers
- Settle the pitch terms early
- Arrange bins and waste collection
Agree a wet-weather pitch on hard standing in case the ground is soft.
A sign at the entrance tells visitors hot food is available.
Tower Hill: your questions answered
Can you come to a school fair in Tower Hill?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
How far is Tower Hill from London?
Roughly 33 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you feed our volunteers and crew?
We can. Give us numbers and a time.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
How much does a fish and chip van for your event cost in Tower Hill?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What affects the price in Tower Hill

Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot when you are ready to eat. For an evening event in Tower Hill, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.

Planning help
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For a reliable crowd-pleaser, a chip van is hard to beat. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
What you get with us
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Classic food your visitors already know
- A van that becomes part of the event
- We cover Tower Hill and the whole of West Sussex
Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- Somewhere firm if it rains
- Space for a queue away from paths
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
