Fish and chip van hire in Pulborough
A fish and chip van or other catering?
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. Larger groups normally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Why book with us
- A quote that spells everything out
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up

Planning a chip van in Pulborough
Pulborough is about 10 miles north of Littlehampton, in West Sussex. For events in Pulborough, we plan around your venue and timings: a quote, a parking spot and fresh frying on the day. We serve all 371 towns and villages in West Sussex. We serve events right across the region, from Pulborough to Brighton (about 18 miles away).
If you are gathering after a service at a church like The Parish Church of St Mary, a nearby hall car park or drive suits the van. PTAs at schools such as St Mary's Church of England Primary School frequently look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. The South Downs National Park is within about 4 miles of Pulborough. Check your venue’s rules on catering vans.
Here we cover the RH20 postcode area. Your event could be at a house on London Road, Station Road and Rectory Close or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere for the van. Pulborough sits on or near the A283, so getting the van to your event is simple. Neighbouring places where we serve events include Hardham (1 mile south-west), Pickhurst (1 mile north-west), Coldwaltham (2 miles south-west), Fittleworth (3 miles west) and Bedham (3 miles west). Within a short drive, we also cover Horsham (11 miles north-east), Worthing (10 miles south-east), Bognor Regis (14 miles south-west), Chichester (15 miles south-west), Littlehampton (10 miles south) and Shoreham-by-Sea (13 miles south-east).

- Nearby, you’ll find The Oddfellows Arms (within half a mile south-east)
Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
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. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce

Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.

Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How far we travel
- Any minimum charge
- The day of the week
- How long we serve
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Expected numbers
- The venue or postcode
- Your date and serving time
Still finalising the details? No problem: tell us the basics about your event, and we will quote on that. Start when you’re ready: use our quote form.
Step by step
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. Late September evenings in Pulborough lose the light at about 7:05pm, and in December it is nearer 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, park up and heat the fryers.
- 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
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Ensure the van can get in
How to get a price
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, use our quote form.
