About our party fish and chip van in Burgess Hill
The van can park on a drive, a hardstanding or a firm lawn, with the serving hatch towards the garden. We are often asked to cater family celebrations after a christening and neighbourhood get-togethers, with haddock and chips, mushy peas and gravy.
In a town like Burgess Hill, a garden party with the van on the drive is the classic choice, and a hall or club works if the drive is small. All we need is a level parking spot. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Burgess Hill
Can you serve after a service at St John the Evangelist's Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Which station is closest to Burgess Hill?
Burgess Hill station, in Burgess Hill itself.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the address when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Can you do something for the children?
Of course. Children normally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before you book.
Can you park at our house?
It depends on the drive and the access. Mention anything tight, and we’ll advise.
Do you cover Burgess Hill?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Burgess Hill and across West Sussex. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
