Planning a chip van in Bognor Regis
Bognor Regis is in West Sussex. Around Bognor Regis, we park wherever there’s level, firm ground. Bognor Regis is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex where we bring the van. You can also see our page for Brighton, about 24 miles away.
A green space like West Park is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, typically the council’s. If you’re gathering after a service at a church like Church of St Mary Magdalene, a nearby hall car park or drive suits the van. Bognor Regis is within about a mile of the sea, and fish and chips always feels right near the sea. Sea breezes can be strong, so we think about where the queue will stand.

How it works
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we are hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. Around midsummer it stays light in Bognor Regis until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are normally served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch

Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
