How our party fish and chip van works in Bewbush
For children, there is sausage and chips, so nobody needs a separate meal. We serve cod and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce, and typical bookings are for garden get-togethers and retirement parties.
Parties around Bewbush are frequently relaxed garden affairs. A chip van fits right in. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Bewbush parties: what to know
Bewbush is about 1 mile west of Crawley, in West Sussex. For parties in Bewbush, we plan around your venue and timings: a quote, a parking spot and fresh frying on the day. Bewbush is one of 371 places in West Sussex we cover. We serve events right across the region, from Bewbush to Guildford (about 18 miles away).
If you had Target Hill Park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: vans can’t simply park up and serve in a public park. A christening at St Alban's followed by fish and chips on the drive is a simple, popular plan.
Anywhere in RH11, RH12 and RH10, we can fry fresh for your guests. Streets in the area include Eden Road, Byrd Road and Booth Road, and the van can serve a party on any of them with a suitable parking spot. For parties just outside Bewbush, we cover Gossops Green (1 mile north-east), Ifield (1 mile north-east), Ifieldwood (2 miles north), Lambs Green (2 miles north-west) and Rusper (3 miles north-west). Larger places within reach include Horsham (5 miles south-west), Haywards Heath (9 miles south-east), Burgess Hill (11 miles south), East Grinstead (9 miles east), Billingshurst (12 miles south-west) and Roffey (4 miles south-west).
Well-known places in the area include Crawley Museum (1.6 miles north-east) and County Mall (1.6 miles east). Within reach you’ll find Tilgate Lake.
- Schools near Bewbush include Holy Trinity CofE Secondary School (0.5 miles east) and St Wilfrid's Catholic School (0.8 miles north-east)

What a fish and chip van costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How easy the site is to reach
- How far we travel
- Whether a minimum applies
- Your choice of menu
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

Food your guests will love
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Show us where the van would go
- Arrange an alternative if needed
Keep the queue away from the road.
Put the menu up by the van.

Planners, venues and businesses
Having the party at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

The process
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Your guests can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. Sunset in Bewbush is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Ensure the van can get in
- Give us a contact for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat

Bewbush questions
Can you serve after a service at St Alban's?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to Bewbush?
The closest is Ifield station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Do you cover Bewbush?
We do. We serve events in Bewbush and across West Sussex. Send us your date to check availability.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
