Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

Westergate: your questions answered
We’re gathering after a service at Westergate Mission Hall: can you come?
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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Westergate?
The closest is Barnham station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
Can fish and chips be the only food?
Fish and chips is a meal in itself. Many hosts add their own desserts or cake.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Cod or haddock?
Both are on our menu; we’ll agree the choice when we quote.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Westergate?
Ordering a takeaway for a crowd means long waits and food that cools on the journey. A van fries on the spot, so it is crisp when it’s handed over. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

Step by step
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. Around midsummer it stays light in Westergate until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are generally served in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
How to get a price
