Fish and chip van hire in Hampers Green, cooked to order
There is something generous about fish and chips: crisp batter, flaky fish and plenty of chips. It turns a meal into an occasion. Whether it is wakes and celebrations of life and birthday celebrations, we can cook mushy peas, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
Somewhere as small as Hampers Green, a field, yard or drive is frequently the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, dry ground is the key. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

Your questions about a fish and chip van in Hampers Green
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.
We’re gathering after a service at The Church of St Mary the Virgin: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is it a full meal?
Yes. A portion of fish, chips and peas is a proper meal, and you can add your own cake or desserts.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Fewer choices mean faster service
- Ask about allergies on your invitation or sign-up form
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
Once everyone is fed, we pack up, leaving the pitch tidy.
Tell people when the van opens, so they don’t miss out.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Access and parking
- How far we travel
- How long we serve
- The menu and how many choices
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Where the van would park
- A picture of where the van would go
- Rough numbers for adults and children
Still finalising the details? That’s fine: tell us the basics about your event, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. Start when you are ready: send us your details through our quote form.
Events we cater in Hampers Green
Hot food on a cold or wet day is hard to beat, and the cooking carries on inside the van whatever the weather.

- Work Christmas parties
Nearby historic houses include Petworth House (0.6 miles south) and Old Place Manor (4.9 miles south-east). Historic venues frequently limit vehicles, so ask early if you’re booking one.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
The process
You don’t need to do much on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your event. We handle the cooking and serving. Around midsummer it stays light in Hampers Green until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are usually served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and access and send a clear quote.
- On the day, we park on the agreed spot and set up.
- Everything is fried fresh and handed over from the hatch.
- When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Ensure the van can get in
- Share the timings for the day
How to get a price
Send us the date, the address or GU28 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and we’ll reply with a quote. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.

Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
A plated meal needs a kitchen, more staff and typically costs more per head. A van needs only a level spot and permission to park, and the food is cooked to order. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is usually the best value.
