About our party fish and chip van in Albourne

Street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers suit a chip van too, with the right permissions in place. We serve curry sauce, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for engagement parties and family parties with children.

In a small place like Albourne, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.

Pie and chips

A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.

Before you choose a spot

A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:

  • A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
  • Somewhere close to where people will eat
  • Light near the van and the queue for evening service

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Planners, venues and businesses

Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.

Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

What affects the price in Albourne

Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:

  • Parking and the way in
  • Travel, tolls and road charges
  • The day of the week
  • The length of service

Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is often the best value.

What to tell us

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:

  • The date and when you’d like to eat
  • Any dietary needs and allergies
  • The address or venue name
  • Roughly how many people, including children

Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Albourne?

A takeaway order for a party takes ages and arrives lukewarm. The van cooks right there. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.

What you get with us

  • A quote that spells everything out
  • Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
  • No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
  • Fish and chips fried fresh on site

Hosting a chip van party in Albourne

Albourne is about 4 miles south-west of Burgess Hill, in West Sussex. People in Albourne book us for all sorts of reasons, but it always starts the same way: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. We take the van to 371 places in West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Albourne to Brighton (about 8 miles away).

Guests arriving by train should know that Hassocks station, about 2.8 miles east, is the nearest station. The South Downs National Park is within about 5 miles of Albourne, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.

Anywhere in BN6, we can bring the van to you. For parties just outside Albourne, we cover Albourne Street (1 mile east), Albourne Green (1 mile north-east), High Cross (1 mile north-west), Blackstone (1 mile west) and Woodmancote (2 miles south-west). Larger places within reach include Crawley (12 miles north), Horsham (10 miles north-west), Worthing (11 miles south-west), Haywards Heath (7 miles north-east), Burgess Hill (4 miles north-east) and Shoreham-by-Sea (7 miles south).

Albourne questions

Can you serve after a service at The Parish Church of St Bartholomew?

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.

How far is Albourne from London?

Roughly 39 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.

Who clears up?

We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.

Do you need power or water?

A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.

When should we book?

As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.

What do you need at the house?

A suitable spot for the van, mainly. Mention power and water and we’ll confirm the rest.

Do you come to Albourne?

We do. Albourne is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.

How fast is service?

That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.

Should I sort the food myself?

Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.

If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.

How it works

We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Guests normally gather round the hatch as soon as we open. At midsummer, it is light in Albourne until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.

  1. Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
  2. We come back with availability and a clear price.
  3. The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
  4. Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
  5. We leave the spot as we found it.

How to prepare

  • Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
  • Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
  • Tell us when you want to eat
