How we price a fish and chip van for your party
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The date and time of year
- Distance and any road charges
- Parking and the way in
- Any minimum charge
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.

Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Expected numbers
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground

Questions from Barnham
Is Barnham too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
We are gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St Mary: 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 will gather.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
Can the van come to our street party?
Yes, with the council’s permission for the road closure. Mention the van in your application.
Can the van come to Barnham?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Barnham and across West Sussex. Send us your date to check availability.

The process
Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Midsummer parties in Barnham 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.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Let us know the serving time
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
