Hosting a chip van party in High Salvington
High Salvington is about 2 miles north of Worthing, in West Sussex. Parties in High Salvington are planned around your venue and timings: a quote, a parking spot and fresh frying on the day. We cover all 371 towns and villages across West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Brighton, about 12 miles away.
For party guests on the train, the closest railway station is Durrington-On-Sea station, roughly 2.2 miles south of the centre. Thinking of using Clapham Wood? Parks typically need the owner’s permission, often the council’s, before a catering van can park or trade. High Salvington is within about 8 miles of the South Downs National Park, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop. Near the coast, within about 4 miles, a fish and chip van feels like a trip to the seaside, and we always plan for wind.
Here we cover the BN13 and BN14 postcode area, so your party can be anywhere in it. Local streets include Mill Lane, Furze Road and Gorse Lane; a party on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. If your venue is just outside High Salvington, we also cover Cote (1 mile south-west), Durrington (1 mile south), Findon (1 mile north), Clapham (2 miles west) and Patching (2 miles west). Further out, we also take the van to Horsham (15 miles north), Bognor Regis (13 miles west), Burgess Hill (14 miles north-east), Littlehampton (6 miles south-west), Shoreham-by-Sea (6 miles east) and Lancing (4 miles east).
Other landmarks nearby include Museum of Sussex Folklore (1.7 miles south) and Old Castle (1.7 miles south). Within reach you’ll find Highdown Hill and Widewater Lagoon.
- Local schools include Durrington High School (1.5 miles south)
What the van needs
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A spot near your guests
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Popular choices
- Sausage and chips
- Curry sauce
- Mushy peas
- Gravy
- Chips
- Pie and chips
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
Organising for someone else?
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in High Salvington
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Could you trade in Clapham Wood?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Do you cover High Salvington?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and High Salvington is within our area and the rest of West Sussex. For a quote, use our quote form.
Do you need power or water from us?
A suitable spot for the van, mainly. Tell us what’s available and we’ll take it from there.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
Can you come to a street party?
Yes, once the council has agreed the closure. Mention the van in your application.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
How it works
There’s very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your party. The frying and serving are down to us. In High Salvington, a June party has light until about 9:20pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:05pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Make sure the van can get in
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
What affects the price in High Salvington
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The day of the week
- How long we serve
- Cod, haddock or both
- The number of meals
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
Details that help
The more we know about your party, the better we can plan. Please include:
- The venue or postcode
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Roughly how many people, including children
Send us the date, the address or BN13 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and we’ll reply with a quote. Just fill in our quote form.
