We take the van to all 371 towns and villages in West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Guildford, about 15 miles away.

A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
How it works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. A summer party in Kirdford stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Let us know the serving time
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A venue plus caterer can be expensive. With a van, home becomes the venue. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
Why book with us
- A clear quote before booking
- No kitchen needed
- We cover Kirdford and the whole of West Sussex
- Hot food handed straight over

Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
- Show us where the van would go
- Have a back-up for special diets
With children, food about an hour in works well, before the cake.
Bunting and festoon lights by the van make it part of the party.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
What affects the price in Kirdford
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The menu and how many choices
- Any minimum charge
- The number of meals
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.

These details help us quote quickly:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Where the event is
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
