Fish and chip van for events in Westerton, cooked to order
Few things draw a crowd at a fête or festival like the smell of fish and chips. A chip van gives organisers a hot-food trader that almost everyone wants. Whether it’s church fêtes and fish and chip suppers and horse and dog shows, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, curry sauce and cod and chips and more.
A fête near Westerton might be on a field with no mains power; tell us what’s available and we will plan around it. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

FAQs for Westerton
Is Westerton close to London?
Roughly 52 miles from the centre of London.
Which station is closest to Westerton?
Chichester station, about 2.5 miles south-west of the centre.
Can you feed our volunteers and crew?
Yes, alongside public trading or on its own.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac visitors in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, West Sussex included. Find your area.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
What do you need on the pitch?
Send us the pitch details, and we’ll confirm.
How it works
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss. December events in Westerton lose the light at about 4:00pm, so pitches need lighting; in late May there’s light until about 8:50pm.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Make sure the van can get in
- Get permission for the van from the venue

Before you choose a spot
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
- Details of any power or water on site
- A queue area clear of rides and games
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
On the menu in Westerton

- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Curry sauce
- Chips
- Cod and chips
Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Prices and what affects them
There is nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- Access and parking
- The minimum booking
- How far we travel
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- The venue or postcode
- Expected numbers
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- A picture of where the van would go
Send us the date, the address or PO18 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and we will reply with a quote. To get started, use our quote form.
