Fish and chip van hire for Street End events
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Fish and chip van hire for your event in Street End
The menu is short and classic: fish and chips, sausages and pies, plus the sides everyone expects. A short menu keeps the food fresh and the queue moving. Typical bookings include festive get-togethers and weddings, especially the evening, serving gravy, curry sauce and cod and chips.
For a rural spot like Street End, the setting does plenty of the work. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. Timings are planned around your event, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

Street End questions
Is Street End close to London?
About 58 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
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 the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Which fish do you use?
Both are on our menu; we’ll agree the choice when we quote.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
A fish and chip van in Street End: local details
Street End is about 4 miles north of Selsey, in West Sussex. Street End is well within our area, so your event just needs a date, a spot for the van and a serving time. Street End is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex where we bring the van. Our bookings stretch from Street End to Southampton (about 28 miles away).
For a christening or celebration after a service at a church such as St Mary Our Lady Sidlesham, the van can serve at a hall or home nearby. Coming by train? The closest railway station is Chichester station, roughly 3.2 miles north of the centre. The coast is within about 5 miles of Street End, so fish and chips feels right at home here. Sea breezes can be strong, so we think about where the queue will stand.
Wherever your event is in PO20, we can fry fresh for your guests. Whether your event is on Church Lane, Selsey Road and Chalder Lane or anywhere nearby, we can park up and fry there. Other places close to Street End we cover include Sidlesham Common (1 mile north-west), Sidlesham (1 mile south), Keynor Estate (1 mile south), Fisher (1 mile north-east) and South Mundham (2 miles north-east).

Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Put bins and napkins by the van
- Fewer choices mean faster service
- Mention any vegetarian or vegan guests
You shouldn’t have to worry about the food on the day. We arrive in good time, set up, cook and serve, and keep in touch with you about timings.
Let everyone know when the food is ready, so they do not miss out.
For planners, venues and organisers
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.

What happens on the day
Changes on the day are fine: we can start a little later or slow the pace. In Street End, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are typically served in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 4:00pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
