Book the van in Broadbridge
What happens on the day
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Light matters for evening service: in Broadbridge, 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.

Your questions about a fish and chip van in Broadbridge
What’s the nearest station to Broadbridge?
Bosham station, in Broadbridge itself.
Can you serve after a service at The United Reformed Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
What does the van need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Why choose fish and chip van hire in Broadbridge?
It suits relaxed, sociable events, where people can wander up when they’re ready.
The van suits big events and small ones. Typical bookings include:
- Gatherings after a funeral
- Festive get-togethers

For a christening or celebration after a service at a church such as The United Reformed Church, the van can serve at a hall or home nearby.
