Ordering in for a crowd means long waits. A van fries on the spot. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.

Common questions in East Worthing
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.
Can you serve after a service at St George's Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Normally, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Can you come to a street party?
Yes, once the council has agreed the closure. Tell the council about the van.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
