How our party fish and chip van works in Flansham
You don’t need to hire a hall: a chip van on the drive turns your home into the venue. Popular choices include pie and chips, curry sauce and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for big birthdays and garden parties and summer get-togethers.
Country parties near Flansham suit a chip van: cooked to order and eaten on the lawn. Plan a firm spot in case it rains. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before you book.

Planning the van’s spot

- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A spot near your guests
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What happens on the day
You do not need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your party. The frying and serving are down to us. Sunset in Flansham is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. After dark, light the area around the van.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

Flansham: your questions answered
We’re gathering after a service at Bilsham Chapel: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Flansham close to London?
About 54 miles from central London.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your party and we’ll send a quote.
Can the van come to our street party?
Yes, with the council’s permission for the road closure. Mention the van in your application.
What if the weather’s bad?
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.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.

Guests arriving by train should know that the nearest station is Barnham station, about 1.9 miles north.

For planners, venues and organisers

If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
About the food
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Count children separately
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Send us a photo of the drive
Plan where the queue stands if the van is on the drive.
Your own cake makes the perfect finish.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A hog roast is one dish, while a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
