How our party fish and chip van works in Aldwick
A chip van works for birthdays, garden parties and family celebrations. Everyone from toddlers to grandparents knows what they’re getting. On the menu are sausage and chips, haddock and chips and gravy, and we’re regularly asked to cater anniversary celebrations and birthday parties.
For a party in Aldwick, home is often the best venue. Let us know how the van reaches the house, and we will bring everything else. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Access wide and high enough for the van

Parties in Aldwick: homes, halls and local tips
Aldwick is about 1 mile south-west of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex. Anywhere in PO21, we can bring the van to you. Aldwick is one of 371 places in West Sussex we cover. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 25 miles away.
A christening at St Richard’s Church followed by fish and chips on the drive is a simple, popular plan. For guests coming by train, Bognor Regis station, about 1.4 miles east, is the nearest station. Near the coast, within about 2 miles, a fish and chip van feels like a trip to the seaside, and we always plan for wind.
Parties anywhere in PO21 start with a parking spot for the van and a serving time. We can serve a party on streets such as Fish Lane, Dark Lane and West Avenue or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere for the van. For parties just outside Aldwick, we cover Nyetimber (1 mile west), Pagham (2 miles south-west), South Mundham (2 miles north-west), Fisher (3 miles north-west) and Sidlesham (3 miles west).

How the day works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. Midsummer parties in Aldwick stay bright until about 9:20pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:05pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you are eating late.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Clear the route for the van
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

See our pricing or the cost guide.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Send allergies to us in writing
After service, we pack up.
Bunting and festoon lights by the van make it part of the party.
Organising for someone else?
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.

Bognor Regis station, about 1.4 miles east of the centre.
Is Aldwick close to London?
About 56 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do we need to provide anything?
Mostly just a good parking spot. Mention power and water and we will confirm the rest.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.

Not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options before you book.

That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.

Frequently, yes, with a level drive and a clear way in. Send us a picture and tell us about gates and branches.
Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Occasions we serve in Aldwick
You don’t need a venue: a drive or firm lawn is enough.
A fish and chip van suits almost any gathering. People in Aldwick book the van for occasions like:
- Leaving parties
- Birthday parties
- Street parties and neighbourhood events
- Anniversary celebrations
A green space like West Park is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, normally the council’s.
