How our fish and chip van hire works in Broadbridge Heath

There’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. It needs a level, firm spot to park and a clear way in, which suits drives, yards, car parks and firm lawns. On the menu are haddock and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas, and we’re frequently booked for company team days and garden get-togethers.

A place like Broadbridge Heath frequently has a hall, a club or a pub car park nearby; the van can work at any of them, with permission. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will be straight with you about what we can do before you book.

Why choose fish and chip van hire in Broadbridge Heath?

There is no kitchen needed, so it’s at home in car parks, yards and fields where other catering struggles.

Almost any gathering works with a fish and chip van. In Broadbridge Heath, people book us for occasions like:

  • Garden get-togethers

If you had Farlington Strood Park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: vans can’t simply park up and serve in a public park.

Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Diets, allergies and planning

Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:

  • Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
  • Have bins and napkins near the hatch
  • Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
  • Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet

It helps to have bins and napkins by the van.

A gazebo by the van keeps the queue dry.

The process

We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can get on with your event. Planning an evening event in Broadbridge Heath? Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; after dark, the queue and the path to the van need good lighting.

  1. Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
  2. We come back with availability and a clear price.
  3. The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
  4. On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
  5. We leave the spot as we found it.

Getting ready for the day

  • Clear the route for the van
  • Plan where the queue will stand
  • Choose a level, firm spot for the van

  • Anything awkward about the way in
  • The address or venue name
