How our fish and chip van for events works in West Stoke
When there’s hot food, people stay longer. Typical bookings include village fêtes and summer fairs and school summer fairs, serving curry sauce, chips and sausage and chips.
For a village fête or field event near West Stoke, a chip van brings hot food to a rural site. Tell us about the ground and the way in. Everything is fried fresh at your event, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

For planners, venues and organisers
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.

West Stoke events: pitches and permissions
West Stoke is about 3 miles north-west of Chichester, in West Sussex. From the centre of West Stoke to the outskirts, the service works the same way: fresh frying, hot food from the hatch and a clear price. We cover 371 places in West Sussex. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 25 miles away.
Church fêtes, at churches such as Church of St Andrew, are a natural home for a chip van. PTAs at schools such as Bishop Luffa School often want one reliable hot-food stall. Events in and around the South Downs National Park, within about 8 miles of West Stoke, frequently have rules about vehicles, ground and waste; we work to the site rules.
Anywhere in PO18, we can fry fresh for your visitors. Your event could be at a house on Downs Road and Lye Lane, as long as there is somewhere for the van.

Step by step
We work to your timings. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. Winter fairs in West Stoke are dark by about 4:00pm, so we need a lit pitch; in late May there’s light until about 8:50pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
