Adur is one of 371 places in West Sussex where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Adur to Brighton (about 7 miles away).
After a christening at a church like St Nicolas' Church, a chip van at home is an easy way to feed family and friends. If guests are coming by rail, the closest railway station is Shoreham-By-Sea station, roughly 1.5 miles south-east of the centre. The coast is within about 2 miles, so a chip van is a natural choice.

What else we do in Adur
Adur questions
Can you serve near the sea around Adur?
Yes, of course. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Can you serve after a service at St Nicolas' Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
What do children eat?
Most children go for sausage and chips. Let us know numbers and ages.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
Planners, venues and businesses
Hosting at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
How it works
Changes on the day are fine: we can start a little later or slow the pace. Midsummer parties in Adur stay bright until about 9:20pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:05pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.
