How it works
The first sign we’ve arrived is generally the smell, about the time the first guests wander across. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. Autumn and winter parties in Itchingfield get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- We start with a few details about your party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
How to prepare
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Planning help
Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Count children separately
- Mention the van to neighbours
For a children’s party, serve food about an hour in.
A few lights around the van look great.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
