Party fish and chip van for your party in Gossops Green
It feels like a treat, but stays relaxed: paper portions of fish and chips in the garden. We are often asked to cater summer garden parties and family reunions, serving cod and chips, gravy and sausage and chips.
Parties around Gossops Green are often relaxed garden affairs. A chip van fits right in. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

How it works
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. Sunset in Gossops Green drops to about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December, so think about lighting by the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- 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.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Ensure the van can get in
- Give us a contact for the day

- The deadline for final numbers
- What the van needs: space, access, power
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- What they can offer for dietary needs
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.

Questions from Gossops Green
Which station is closest to Gossops Green?
Gossops Green has its own station: Ifield station.
Can the van park in Target Hill Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.
Do you come to Gossops Green?
We do. We serve events in Gossops Green and across West Sussex. Send us your date to check availability.
