Fresh fish and chips in Storrington
Fish and chip van hire for your event in Storrington
There is something generous about fish and chips: crisp batter, flaky fish and plenty of chips. It turns a meal into an occasion. Typical bookings include community events and fairs and gatherings after a funeral, serving curry sauce, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
In a smaller place like Storrington, a garden party with the van on the drive is frequently the simplest option: no hire fees, and fish and chips for everyone without anyone stuck in the kitchen.

What affects the price in Storrington
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- Distance and any road charges
- How many people are eating
- The menu and how many choices
- The date and time of year
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
What we need to know
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- The venue or postcode
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- A photo of the space and the way in
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
Not sure of numbers yet? That’s fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. Start when you’re ready: use our quote form.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
- Confirm allergies by email
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
Bins and napkins near the hatch make life easier.
Bunting or festoon lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
Storrington: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Storrington?
The closest is Pulborough station, roughly 3.9 miles away.
Can the van park in Parham Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first.
Can you feed plenty of people?
It can be. Give us your numbers and service time, and we will tell you honestly how service will work.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Can you cook in the rain?
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.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
What happens when we hire the van?
We bring the van to your event, set up, heat the fryers and cook to order, serving from the hatch at the time you choose.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Planning the van’s spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
How the day works
Your timings come first. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. In Storrington, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and access and send a clear 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.
- Afterwards, we clear up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Clear the route for the van
Getting a price
Each quote is put together for your event. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
