- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The address or venue name

Fish and chip van hire in Saint Hill Green, cooked to order
Hiring a fish and chip van brings the chip shop to your door. We park up, heat the fryers and cook to order, so nothing sits waiting in a tray. Popular choices include curry sauce, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater community events and fairs and wakes and celebrations of life.
Somewhere as small as Saint Hill Green, a field, yard or drive is frequently the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm ground matters more than anything. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Your questions about a fish and chip van in Saint Hill Green
Is Saint Hill Green too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Which station is closest to Saint Hill Green?
East Grinstead station, about 1.5 miles north of the centre.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Usually, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
What happens when we hire the van?
The van parks at your venue, we fry fresh and serve from the hatch.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
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. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your event is.
Why us?
- A clear quote before booking
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Bookings across West Sussex, including Saint Hill Green
- A van that becomes part of the event

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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 is crisp.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
What the van needs
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
