Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. Sunset in Lagness drops to about 7:05pm by late September and 4:00pm by December, so think about lighting by the van.

- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.

Party venues around Lagness
Lagness is about 2 miles west of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex. Whether your party is in the middle of Lagness or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh frying, hot food from the hatch and a clear price. We take the van to all 371 towns and villages in West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Lagness to Brighton (about 26 miles away).
A green space like Avisford is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, normally the council’s. For guests coming by train, Bognor Regis station, about 2.5 miles east, is the nearest station. The coast is within about 3 miles, so a chip van is a natural choice.
For parties in PO20, we just need to know where the van can park and a serving time. Other places close to Lagness we cover include Runcton (1 mile north-west), Merston (1 mile north), North Mundham (2 miles north-west), Colworth (2 miles north-east) and Hunston (2 miles west). Within a short drive, we also cover Worthing (14 miles east), Chichester (4 miles north-west), Selsey (5 miles south-west), Littlehampton (9 miles east), Emsworth (10 miles west) and Rustington (10 miles east).
A little further out are Tote Copse Castle (2.9 miles north-east) and Bognor Regis Museum (2.5 miles south-east).
- Local schools include The Regis School (1.7 miles east)
Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Count children separately
- A picture of the parking spot helps
With children, food about an hour in works well, before the cake.
Seats or a few tables help people eat comfortably.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Common questions in Lagness
Is Lagness too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you serve near the sea around Lagness?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
How far ahead should we book a party?
Summer weekends go first. Ask about your date.
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.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Lagness?
Ordering in for a crowd means long waits. A van fries on the spot. Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.
