Party fish and chip van in Hurst Wickham, fried fresh
A chip van works for birthdays, garden parties and family celebrations. Everyone from toddlers to grandparents knows what they’re getting. We’re frequently asked to cater leaving parties and milestone birthdays, serving cod and chips, sausage and chips and gravy.
In a small place like Hurst Wickham, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Show us where the van would go
- Arrange an alternative if needed
- Mention the van to neighbours
For a children’s party, serve food about an hour in.
Bunting and festoon lights by the van make it part of the party.

Questions from Hurst Wickham
Is Hurst Wickham close to London?
Roughly 39 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St George: 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. Send us the address.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Can the van come to Hurst Wickham?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Hurst Wickham is within our area and the rest of West Sussex. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
