Fish and chip van hire in Twineham, cooked to order
The menu is short and classic: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. A short menu keeps the food fresh and the queue moving. We’re frequently asked to cater weddings, especially the evening and community events and fairs, serving haddock and chips, sausage and chips and curry sauce.
In a small place like Twineham, the van often parks on a farm track, a field or a drive. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm ground matters more than anything. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.

How the day works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. Around midsummer it stays light in Twineham until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are usually served in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Clear the route for the van

Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

Common questions in Twineham
Can you serve after a service at The Parish Church of St Peter?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can fish and chips be the only food?
It is a full meal on its own. You can add your own desserts if you like.
Cod or haddock?
Tell us your preference when you book and we’ll confirm what we can offer.
Is a chip van good for a large crowd?
It depends on numbers and timings. A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
