Looking after everyone
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Have a back-up for special diets

- A picture of the parking spot helps
We arrive, park up and heat the fryers, and serve as the party carries on.
A few lights around the van look great.
How our party fish and chip van works in Codmore Hill
There’s no need for a venue: a chip van on the drive turns your home into the venue. Typical bookings include milestone birthdays and anniversaries and engagement parties, with haddock and chips, gravy and cod and chips.
In a small place like Codmore Hill, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

What else we do in Codmore Hill
Codmore Hill: your questions answered
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Can you serve after a service at The Parish Church of St Mary?
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 typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Will the van fit on our drive?
Frequently, yes, with a level drive and a clear way in. Send us a photo and tell us about gates and branches.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
What do children eat?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include them in your numbers.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Buffets are simple but rarely memorable. A chip van gives guests something to talk about. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.
Why us?
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- We cover Codmore Hill and the whole of West Sussex
- Everything cooked to order at your event

Working with your venue
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
