Fish and chip van for events in Westergate
Westergate: your questions answered
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Do you trade at school fairs around Westergate?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Do you come to Westergate?
We do. We serve events in Westergate and across West Sussex. Send us your date to check availability.
Can the van come to our fair?
Send us the event details, dates and pitch information and we will let you know if we’re available.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Children normally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.

Running an event in Westergate
Westergate is about 3 miles north of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex. Tell us where your event in Westergate will be, and we’ll plan access and set-up. Westergate is one of 371 places in West Sussex where we bring the van. Our bookings stretch from Westergate to Brighton (23 miles away).

Events in and around the South Downs National Park, within about 8 miles of Westergate, frequently have rules about vehicles, ground and waste; we will follow the site’s requirements. With the sea within about 4 miles, we plan shelter from the wind for coastal events, and fish and chips sells well by the sea.

Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Occasions we serve in Westergate
It’s a hot meal for helpers as well.
A fish and chip van suits almost any gathering. People in Westergate book the van for occasions like:
- Country shows

Step by step

- We confirm availability, our pitch needs and anything the event asks for.
- On the day, we arrive and set up our pitch.
- We trade from the hatch all event, frying to order.
- We clear the pitch when the event closes.
Before we arrive
