Fish and chip van hire in West Chiltington Common, fried fresh
A fish and chip van works almost anywhere the van can park: a drive, a car park, a yard, a showground or a firm lawn. Typical bookings include big birthdays and visits to care homes and day centres, with curry sauce, mushy peas and cod and chips.
There may be a hall or club near West Chiltington Common if the drive is small; the van can work at any of them, with permission. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer before you book.

A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce and it’s on the menu.
Space, access and the venue
If a spot isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and help find another. What matters most:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Access wide and high enough for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Light matters for evening service: in West Chiltington Common, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.

Your questions about a fish and chip van in West Chiltington Common
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 follow the site rules.
Can you serve after a service at St Mary's Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Do you cover West Chiltington Common?
We do. We serve events in West Chiltington Common and across West Sussex. Send us your date to check availability.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
