Common questions in Bosham Hoe
We are gathering after a service at The Parish Church of the Holy Trinity: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
How far is Bosham Hoe from London?
Roughly 57 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is generally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
What is fish and chip van hire?
We arrive with the van, cook fresh on site, and serve when you’re ready to eat.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
How our fish and chip van hire works in Bosham Hoe
The van needs no kitchen, no hall and no crockery. It needs a level, firm spot to park and a clear way in, which most drives, car parks and yards can offer. We’re frequently asked to cater garden get-togethers and wakes and gatherings after a funeral, with pie and chips, cod and chips and curry sauce.

Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Mention any vegetarian or vegan guests
- A short menu helps everyone
- Give us separate numbers for children
You shouldn’t have to worry about the food on the day. We arrive in good time, set up, cook and serve, and stay in touch about any changes.
Put the menu up by the hatch so people decide while they wait.
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A spot near your guests
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
How we price a fish and chip van
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Service time
- Parking and the way in
- How many people are eating
- The menu and how many choices
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- A picture of where the van would go
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The address or venue name
- Where you’d like the van to go

Organising for someone else?
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
The process
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. Light matters for evening service: in Bosham Hoe, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Share the timings for the day
