How our party fish and chip van works in East Wittering
Everything is cooked as people come up, rather than sitting on a buffet table all afternoon. We serve haddock and chips, gravy and mushy peas, and we are regularly asked to cater anniversaries and engagement parties and street parties and neighbourhood events.
In a place like East Wittering, a party at home is typically the easiest option. Tell us about the drive and the lane, and we will bring everything else. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

FAQs for East Wittering
We’re gathering after a service at St Anne: can you come?
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. Tell us where you will gather.
What about events near the coast?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Can you come to a street party?
Yes, where the council allows it. Start the road closure application early.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.

How the day works
We don’t cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. For a late-May party in East Wittering, sunset is around 8:50pm; at midsummer it is about 9:20pm. After dark, light the area around the van.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- 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
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.

There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Numbers
