The process
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Around midsummer it stays light in Iping until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are usually served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- It starts with your date, venue, 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.
How to prepare
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Give us a contact for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue

Planning for dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Fewer choices mean faster service
- Confirm allergies by email
Fish and chips is at its best fresh from the fryer, so we cook as people come up to the hatch.
Put the menu up by the hatch so people decide while they wait.
Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
Popular choices
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Curry sauce
- Pie and chips
- Cod and chips

- Gravy
- Sausage and chips
Why choose a fish and chip van in Iping?
Next to a hog roast, a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies rather than one dish, which suits guests who do not eat pork. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest how to make it work. A short menu is frequently the best value.
Why us?
- We cover Iping and the whole of West Sussex
- A clear quote before booking
