Fish and chip van hire in Felpham, fried fresh
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 nothing sits waiting in a tray. For wakes and gatherings after a funeral and milestone birthday parties, we’ll put together a menu of gravy, cod and chips and sausage and chips and more.
In and around Felpham, homes and village halls are common choices. If the road in is narrow, tell us so we can plan the route. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.

Looking after everyone
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Ask about allergies on your invitation or sign-up form
- A short menu helps everyone
- Confirm allergies by email
- Plan bins near the queue
The oil needs time to come up to temperature, so we get there in good time. If timings shift, we adapt.
Let everyone know when the food is ready, so they do not miss out.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Perfect for your event in Felpham
On a grey day, hot fish and chips wins, and the van keeps frying whatever the weather.
We are booked for all kinds of occasions in Felpham and nearby. Some of the most common are:
- Gatherings after a funeral
- Summer garden parties
- Visits to care homes and day centres
- Big birthdays
PTAs at schools such as Felpham Community College frequently look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether travel is included
- How long service runs, and what happens if you overrun
- The deposit and payment dates
- If the price includes VAT
The process
We don’t cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. By late September, sunset in Felpham is around 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 4:00pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the queue.
- Contact us 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.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Share the timings for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

What else we do in Felpham
Bringing the van to Felpham

We serve 371 places in West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Brighton, about 23 miles away.

For planners, venues and organisers
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.

- A spot near your guests
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A clear area by the serving hatch
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Mushy peas
