A fish and chip van or other catering?
Buffets are simple but rarely memorable. The van becomes part of the party. There is 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.

Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:

- Ensure the van can park legally
Have bins and napkins by the van.

What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. Sunset in Bosham drops to about 7:05pm by late September and 4:00pm by December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Ensure the van can get in

Hosting a chip van party in Bosham
Bosham is about 3 miles west of Chichester, in West Sussex. Wherever your party is in the PO18 area, we can fry fresh for your guests. We serve 371 places in West Sussex. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 24 miles away.
Among the historic houses close to Bosham are Warblington Castle (4.9 miles west). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on vehicles and caterers, so for most parties a home or hired hall is simpler. A christening at The United Reformed Church followed by fish and chips on the drive is a simple, popular plan.
We serve parties across PO18 and the streets around it. That could mean a party at a home on High Street, Viking Way and Merryweather Road, wherever the van can park. Other places close to Bosham we cover include Broadbridge (1 mile north-east), Chidham (1 mile west), Bosham Hoe (1 mile south), Nutbourne (2 miles north-west) and Fishbourne (2 miles east). We also serve nearby towns such as Bognor Regis (8 miles east), Chichester (3 miles east), Selsey (7 miles south-east), Littlehampton (14 miles east), Emsworth (4 miles west) and Rustington (15 miles east).
Well-known places in the area include Chichester Cathedral Treasury (3.2 miles east) and St Richard's Hospital (3.8 miles east). The countryside around Bosham includes Nutborne Marshes and Stoke Down.
- Nearby, you’ll find The Berkeley Arms Public House (under half a mile north-east)

FAQs for Bosham
Can you serve after a service at The United Reformed Church?
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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you come out to small places like Bosham?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
How early do summer dates go?
Weekends from May to September are busiest, so it pays to ask early.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
Can the van come to our street party?
Yes, where the council allows it. Start the road closure application early.
