A chip van works for birthdays, garden parties and family celebrations. It’s food every generation enjoys. Popular choices include gravy, mushy peas and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for birthday parties and family celebrations after a christening.
A country party near Findon is perfect for fish and chips: cooked to order and eaten on the lawn. Have a firm back-up spot for wet weather. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
What the van needs
We will be honest if a spot won’t work, and help find another. What matters most:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A short walk from the party
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue

Party venues around Findon

Historic houses near Findon include Ecclesden Manor (3.8 miles south-west). Grand settings like these frequently have strict rules on vehicles and caterers, so for most parties a home or hired hall is simpler. If guests are coming by rail, West Worthing station is about 3.4 miles away. The South Downs National Park is within about 7 miles of Findon, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop. Near the coast, within about 5 miles, a fish and chip van feels like a trip to the seaside, and we always plan for wind.
Here we cover the BN14 postcode area. Local streets include High Street, Southview Road and Summerfields; a party on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park.

Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Distance and any road charges
- The date and time of year
- The number of meals
- Your choice of menu
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Where the event is
- Expected numbers
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll check availability right away.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
For event organisers in Findon
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Hosting at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Arrange an alternative if needed
- Send us a picture of the drive
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Check the street’s parking rules
Keep the queue away from the road.
A sign by the hatch with the menu speeds things up.

Findon questions
What’s the nearest station to Findon?
The closest is West Worthing station, roughly 3.4 miles away.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
When should we book for a summer party?
As early as you can for summer weekends. Ask about your date.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
How much does a fish and chip van for your party cost in Findon?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
How the day works
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. At midsummer, it is light in Findon until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- First, tell us about your party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure the van can get in
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Name one person we can call on the day
