Fish and chip van hire for your event in Toddington
Fish and chips is the meal almost everyone in Britain knows and likes. It’s why a chip van suits so many occasions. We serve curry sauce, gravy and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for staff thank-you lunches and big birthdays.
A place like Toddington frequently has a hall, a club or a pub car park nearby; the van can work at any of them, with permission. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Common questions in Toddington
Can the van park in Mewsbrook Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Toddington?
The closest is Littlehampton station, roughly 1.1 miles away.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Which fish do you use?
Both are on our menu; we’ll agree the choice when we quote.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can fish and chips be the only food?
It’s a full meal on its own. You can add your own desserts if you like.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Children usually love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
How it works
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Guests usually gather round the hatch once service starts. By late September, sunset in Toddington is around 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 4:00pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check availability and access and send a clear quote.
- We arrive early, set up and get the fryers hot.
- Everything is fried fresh and handed over from the hatch.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Arrange an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
The fryers take a little while to heat, so we arrive well before service. If plans change, tell us and we will adjust.
Let everyone know when the food is ready, so they don’t miss out.
Toddington: venues, parking and local tips
Toddington is about 1 mile north of Littlehampton, in West Sussex. Whether your event is in the middle of Toddington or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. Toddington is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Toddington to Brighton (18 miles away).
If you are gathering after a service at a church like All Saints, a nearby hall car park or drive suits the van. If you had Mewsbrook Park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: vans cannot simply park up and serve in a public park. Toddington is within about 6 miles of the South Downs National Park, and some venues there have rules about vehicles on site. Check your venue’s rules on catering vans. The coast is within about 2 miles of Toddington, so fish and chips feels right at home here. On windy days, we plan a sheltered side for the queue.
This part of West Sussex takes in BN17, so your event can be anywhere in it. Streets in the area include Toddington Lane, Hide Close and Hollist Chase, and the van can serve an event on any of them with a suitable parking spot. Other places close to Toddington we cover include Lyminster (1 mile north-west), Wick (1 mile west), Littlehampton (1 mile south), Poling (1 mile north-east) and Rustington (1 mile south-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Worthing (6 miles east), Bognor Regis (7 miles west), Chichester (11 miles west), Selsey (13 miles south-west), Shoreham-by-Sea (12 miles east) and Lancing (9 miles east).

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
