Hosting a chip van party in Heyshott
Heyshott is about 8 miles north of Chichester, in West Sussex. For parties in Heyshott, the van can park on drives, in car parks and yards, and on firm lawns and fields. Heyshott is one of 371 places in West Sussex we cover. We serve events right across the region, from Heyshott to Guildford (about 21 miles away).
Historic houses near Heyshott include Cowdray House (2.5 miles north) and West Dean House (4.1 miles south-west).

About the food
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.

Step by step
There is very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your party. We handle the cooking and serving. Autumn and winter parties in Heyshott get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 4:00pm in December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- 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.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Have a level parking spot ready

Perfect for your party in Heyshott
People book a chip van for parties because nobody has to cook. And it’s fun.
Almost any gathering works with a fish and chip van. In Heyshott, people book us for occasions like:
- Children’s parties
- Milestone birthdays
- Street parties and neighbourhood events
- Reunions and family get-togethers
A christening at The Parish Church of St James followed by fish and chips on the drive is a simple, popular plan.
What your quote should include
- The deposit and payment dates
- The deadline for final numbers
- How much space the van takes up
- The cancellation terms
What the van needs
We’ll be honest if a spot won’t work. What matters most:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
What we serve

- Sausage and chips
- Curry sauce

- Haddock and chips

Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
What affects the price in Heyshott
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The day of the week
- Cod, haddock or both
- Whether a minimum applies
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.
Details that help
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- The date and time of the event
- Expected numbers
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The venue or postcode

Questions from Heyshott
We’re gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St James: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is Heyshott close to London?
About 46 miles from central London.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Heyshott.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
Can you do something for the children?
Sausage and chips, typically. Tell us how many children to expect.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
How early do summer dates go?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
