Fish and chip van for events in Twineham
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
How our fish and chip van for events works in Twineham
A hot-food van gives families a reason to stay longer, which is good for every other stall. On the menu are cod and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and we’re regularly asked to cater church fêtes and sports tournaments.
Rural events near Twineham can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a chip van is a welcome sight. We cook inside the van, right where your visitors are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Common questions in Twineham
Can you come to a school fair in Twineham?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you cook in the rain?
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 does the pitch need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, and room for a queue. Tell us about power and water.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
Do you come to Twineham?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Twineham and the rest of West Sussex. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, including West Sussex. See all areas.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
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.
