Common questions in Duncton
Can you serve after a service at Church of Holy Trinity?
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 generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Duncton too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Duncton.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the party.
Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
A hog roast is pork only, while a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.

Hosting a chip van party in Duncton
Duncton is about 10 miles north-east of Chichester, in West Sussex. Bookings in Duncton come in all shapes and sizes, but the plan is always the same: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. We serve all 371 towns and villages in West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. We serve events right across the region, from Duncton to Guildford (21 miles away).
Historic houses near Duncton include Bignor Roman Villa (2.4 miles south-east) and Petworth House (3.1 miles north). Grand settings like these frequently have strict rules on vehicles and caterers, so for most parties a home or hired hall is simpler.

Streets in the area include Duncton High Street and Willett Close, and the van can serve a party on any of them with a suitable parking spot. Close by, we cover parties in East Lavington (1 mile south-west), Sutton (2 miles south-east), Rotherbridge (2 miles north), Graffham (2 miles west) and Haslingbourne (2 miles north-east).

The process
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. In Duncton, a June party has light until about 9:20pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:05pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
