Your questions about a fish and chip van in Adur
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 come out to small places like Adur?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
Can you feed a lot of people?
It can be. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan it with you.
Fish and chip van hire in Adur, cooked to order
A fish and chip van works almost anywhere the van can park: a drive, a car park, a yard, a showground or a firm lawn in and around Adur. Whether it’s birthday celebrations and Fêtes, fairs and school events, we will put together a menu of haddock and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas for your guests.
Somewhere like Adur, a yard or firm field often works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

About the food
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
With a barbecue, somebody ends up cooking all afternoon. With a van, the host gets to enjoy the day. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

What the van needs
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:

- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A short walk from the party
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

How we price a fish and chip van
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Distance and any road charges
- The menu and how many choices
- The date and time of year
- The number of meals
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Where you’d like the van to go
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will come back with a clear quote.
Should I sort the food myself?
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 typically simpler.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

Fish and chip van hire around Adur
Adur is about 1 mile north-west of Shoreham-by-Sea, in West Sussex. Bookings in Adur come in all shapes and sizes, but it always starts the same way: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. We take the van to all 371 towns and villages in West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 7 miles away.
Among the historic houses close to Adur are Portslade Manor (3.2 miles east). Historic venues often limit vehicles, so ask early if you’re booking one. School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as The Sir Robert Woodard Academy, can book the van as a food stall. Adur is within about 2 miles of the sea, and fish and chips always feels right near the sea. On windy days, we plan a sheltered side for the queue.
We serve events across the BN43 and BN15 postcode area. Local streets include Steyning Road, Coombes Road and Mill Hill; an event on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. For events just outside Adur, we cover Old Shoreham (1 mile south), Shoreham-by-Sea (1 mile south-east), Castle Town (2 miles north), Kingston by Sea (2 miles east) and Southwick (3 miles south-east).

Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
What happens on the day
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Evening events need a little planning for light: in Adur, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Share the timings for the day
