Party fish and chip van for Bilsham events

How our party fish and chip van works in Bilsham

With a chip van, the host gets to enjoy the party too. The van parks, the fryers go on and the food goes out hot. On the menu are mushy peas, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for leaving parties and milestone birthdays.

Near Bilsham, parties are often in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we will handle the rest. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Planning for dietary needs

With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:

  • Send allergies to us in writing
  • Count children separately
  • Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
  • Let your neighbours know

We arrive, park up and heat the fryers, and serve as the party carries on.

Bunting and festoon lights by the van make it part of the party.

Working with your venue

Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.

For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.

Food your guests will love

Mushy peas

Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.

Cod and chips

Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.

Why choose party fish and chip van in Bilsham?

15 questions to ask before booking

Should I sort the food myself?

Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

FAQs for Bilsham

Do you come out to small places like Bilsham?

Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

Can you serve after a service at Bilsham Chapel?

Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.

How far ahead should we book a party?

Summer Saturdays book up first, so ask early.

Do you cover Bilsham?

Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Bilsham and the rest of West Sussex. To check your date, use our quote form.

How long are you on site?

We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.

What food do you serve?

Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.

Is there a kids’ option?

Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include them in your numbers.

What do we need to supply?

A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.

The process

Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Sunset in Bilsham drops to about 7:05pm by late September and 4:00pm by December, so a lit spot for the van helps.

  1. We start with a few details about your party.
  2. We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
  3. Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
  4. On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
  5. We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.

Getting ready for the day

  • Name one person we can call on the day
  • Get permission for the van from the venue
  • Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
