Party fish and chip van for your party in Bepton
A chip van also works for street parties, with the right permissions in place. For naming days and christenings and neighbourhood get-togethers, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, gravy and haddock and chips for your guests.
Near Bepton, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll plan the route. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

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. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
How we price a fish and chip van for your party
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Access and parking
- Whether a minimum applies
- Service time
- The menu and how many choices
Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Expected numbers
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The date and time of the event
Each quote is put together for your party. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.

Common questions in Bepton
Can you serve after a service at The Parish Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do you need power or water from us?
A suitable spot for the van, mainly. Mention power and water and we will confirm the rest.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Perfect for your party in Bepton
No washing up, no cold buffet to throw away.
Whatever the occasion in Bepton, fish and chips from the hatch goes down well. We regularly serve:
- Birthday parties
- Anniversary celebrations
- Garden parties and summer get-togethers
- Get-togethers with old friends
Nearby historic houses include Cowdray House (2.7 miles north-east) and West Dean House (3.6 miles south). Grand settings like these frequently have strict rules on vehicles and caterers, so for most parties a home or hired hall is simpler.

How the day works
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace. At midsummer, it is light in Bepton until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
