Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a buffet, fish and chips is hot and simple, which helps when numbers are hard to predict. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.

About the food
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
What affects the price in Broadwater
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- The date and time of year
- The number of meals
- Cod, haddock or both
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. A short menu is often the best value.

How it works
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. A wake in Broadwater in late autumn or winter may run into the dark, with sunset about 7:05pm in late September and 4:00pm in December, so a lit path to the van is a kindness to older guests.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo 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 family and friends.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

FAQs for Broadwater
We are gathering after a service at St. Mary's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What’s the nearest station to Broadwater?
The closest is Worthing station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
How do we estimate numbers?
Give us your best estimate, and we’ll firm it up nearer the day.
Do you cover Broadwater?
We do. We serve events in Broadwater and across West Sussex. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
