Fresh fish and chips in Walberton
Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Fish and chip van hire in Walberton, cooked to order
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. Popular choices include sausage and chips, gravy and pie and chips, and we’re often booked for birthday celebrations and wakes and celebrations of life.
Somewhere like Walberton, a yard or firm field often works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:

How the day works
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Late September evenings in Walberton lose the light at about 7:05pm, and in December it’s nearer 4:00pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
