What happens on the day
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Guests generally gather round the hatch once service starts. Around midsummer it stays light in Easebourne until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.

How our fish and chip van hire works in Easebourne
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 most drives, car parks and yards can offer. Typical bookings include big birthdays and village fêtes and school fairs, serving haddock and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
Somewhere as small as Easebourne, a field, yard or drive is often the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm ground matters more than anything. Everything is fried fresh at your event, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Common questions in Easebourne
Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Easebourne close to London?
Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What if we only have street parking?

How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.

- Add an allergy question to your invitations
- Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
The fryers take a little while to heat, so we arrive well before service. If timings shift, we adapt.
Tell people when the van opens, so they do not miss out.

Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
