Party fish and chip van across West Sussex

The van can park on a drive, a hardstanding or a firm lawn, with the hatch facing your guests. On the menu are pie and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas, and we are frequently booked for engagement parties and big birthdays.

Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.

  1. Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
  2. We come back with availability and a clear price.
  3. We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
  4. Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
  5. The pitch is left tidy when we go.

What you’ll pay

The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.

Local landmarks in Crawley

Locally, our bookings take us close to Friary Church of St Francis and St Anthony, St Wilfrid's Catholic School and Tilgate Park. Nearby too are The George Hotel (under half a mile north), Three Bridges Junior School (under half a mile south-east) and St Francis of Assisi Catholic Primary School (under half a mile south-east). Crawley has its own railway station: Crawley station, handy for guests travelling by train. Well-known places in the area include Crawley Hospital (0.5 miles north-west) and County Mall (within half a mile north-east). The countryside around Crawley includes Tilgate Lake.

Parties across West Sussex: homes and halls

Parties across West Sussex are mostly at home, in halls and at clubs, from Crawley, Horsham and Worthing to small villages. A chip van suits every one. Parts of West Sussex are within a few miles of the South Downs National Park and the High Weald National Landscape, where some venues have extra rules about vehicles. 121 of the places we cover in West Sussex are within about 6 miles of the sea, where we always think about shelter for the queue, and fish and chips feels right at home.

Crawley: After a christening at a church like Friary Church of St Francis and St Anthony, a chip van at home is an easy way to feed family and friends. A green space like Tilgate Park is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, usually the council’s. Autumn and winter parties in Crawley get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a lit spot for the van helps.

Looking after everyone

We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:

  • Let your neighbours know
  • Send us a photo of the drive
  • Collect allergies with your RSVPs
  • Flag any coeliac guests

After service, we pack up and leave the drive tidy.

Somewhere to sit makes eating easier.

What affects the price in West Sussex

The price comes down to a few factors:

  • Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
  • How long we serve
  • The number of meals
  • The minimum booking

If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest how to make it work. A short menu is frequently the best value.

Getting an accurate quote

To check availability and price, we need:

  • Anything awkward about the way in
  • A picture of the parking spot
  • The venue or postcode
  • Rough numbers for adults and children

Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.

About the food

Pie and chips

For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips.

Mushy peas

Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

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.

FAQs for West Sussex

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.

Is the fish gluten-free?

Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before you book.

Where can the van park?

A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.

Can you go on a lawn or field?

Generally, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

When do you arrive?

That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.

Can you come to a street party?

Yes, where the council allows it. Start the road closure application early.

How far ahead should we book a party?

As early as you can for summer weekends. Ask about your date.
