DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
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 normally simpler.
Planning a party in Eastergate
Eastergate is about 4 miles north of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex. Wherever your party is in the PO20 area, we can bring the van to you. We take the van to all 371 towns and villages across West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 23 miles away.
Guests arriving by train should know that the nearest station is Barnham station, about 1 mile south-east. Within reach of Eastergate are historic houses such as Goodwood House (4.2 miles north-west). For most parties, a home or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict vehicle rules. The South Downs National Park is within about 7 miles of Eastergate, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop. The coast is within about 4 miles, so a chip van is a natural choice.
Wherever your party is in PO20, we can bring the van to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Your party could be at a house on St Georges Walk, Highview Road and Critchmere Drive, wherever the van can park.

What else we do in Eastergate
Eastergate: your questions answered
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.
We’re gathering after a service at St George's Church: can you come?
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. Send us the address.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Do you do street parties?
Often, yes. Check your council’s rules on road closures and vehicles early.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can the van park on my drive?
Often, yes, with a level drive and a clear way in. Send a picture of the drive and the way in.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
