Cocking Causeway: your questions answered
Is Cocking Causeway close to London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Cocking Causeway too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is normally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Typically, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Can we choose cod or haddock?
Both are on our menu; tell us which you’d like for your event.
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. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Cocking Causeway.
Fish and chip van hire for your event in Cocking Causeway
Hiring a fish and chip van brings the chip shop to your door. The van parks up, the fryers go on and everything is cooked to order, so every portion goes out hot and crisp. We are often asked to cater garden parties and summer get-togethers and weddings, especially the evening, with sausage and chips, gravy and curry sauce.
In a hamlet or village like Cocking Causeway, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. A van fries on the spot, so it is crisp when it is handed over. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
Why book with us
- A quote that spells everything out
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Quick service from the hatch
Prices and what affects them
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- The number of meals
- Cod, haddock or both
- How far we travel
- How long we serve
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
Getting an accurate quote
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Expected numbers
- Allergies and diets you know about
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
How the day works
Service is quick: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Late September evenings in Cocking Causeway lose the light at about 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 4:00pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the space for the van, then send a quote.
- We arrive early, set up and get the fryers hot.
- Everything is fried fresh and handed over from the hatch.
- Afterwards, we clear up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
