Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
A plated meal needs a kitchen, more staff and generally costs more per head. A fish and chip van needs a level spot and permission to park. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your event.

FAQs for Aldwick
What’s the nearest station to Aldwick?
The closest is Bognor Regis station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
We are gathering after a service at St Richard’s Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What is fish and chip van hire?
We bring the van to your event, set up, heat the fryers and cook to order, serving from the hatch at the time you choose.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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.
