How our fish and chip van hire works in Itchingfield
Keep it simple, or plan every detail: open service, or food at a fixed time. We will recommend what fits. Whether it is big birthdays and village fêtes and school fairs, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, curry sauce and pie and chips.
Somewhere as small as Itchingfield, a field, yard or drive is often the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, dry ground is the key. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Barbecues cook in batches, and someone has to stand over the grill. With a van, nobody misses the event. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
What you get with us
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Add an allergy question to your invitations
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
It helps to have bins and napkins by the van for everyone.
Somewhere to sit or lean makes fish and chips easier to eat.
Working with your venue
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Planning the van’s spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A spot near your guests
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Flat, firm ground for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
What happens on the day
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and get on with frying and serving. Light matters for evening service: around Itchingfield, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Name one person we can call on the day
Getting a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
