Party fish and chip van for Loxwood events

A chip van compared with other options

A hog roast is one dish, while a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.

What you get with us

  • A quote that spells everything out
  • We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
  • Quick service from the hatch
  • A van that becomes part of the event

Party fish and chip van for your party in Loxwood

Street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers suit a chip van too, once the council has agreed the road closure. We serve haddock and chips, gravy and mushy peas, and we’re regularly asked to cater family parties with children and family reunions.

A country party near Loxwood is perfect for fish and chips: fried fresh and eaten outside. Plan a firm spot in case it rains. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Takeaway run or book a van?

Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.

For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the party.

Space, access and the venue

We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:

  • Flat, firm ground for the van
  • Access wide and high enough for the van
  • A short walk from the party

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

What we serve

  • Pie and chips
  • Haddock and chips
  • Sausage and chips
  • Chips
  • Curry sauce
  • Mushy peas
  • Gravy

Questions from Loxwood

Is Loxwood too small for a chip van?

No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

Is Loxwood close to London?

Roughly 34 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.

What do children eat?

Sausage and chips, usually. Let us know numbers and ages.

Can the van park on my drive?

It depends on the drive and the access. Mention anything tight, and we will advise.

Can you go on a lawn or field?

That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.

Do you do street parties?

Yes, where the council allows it. Start the road closure application early.

Can you serve children?

Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.

Do you cover Loxwood?

Yes, we do. We serve events in Loxwood and across West Sussex. Send us your date to check availability.

Prices and what affects them

Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:

  • Cod, haddock or both
  • Travel, tolls and road charges
  • Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
  • How easy the site is to reach

When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.

What we need to know

You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:

  • The date and when you’d like to eat
  • Allergies and diets you know about
  • Rough numbers for adults and children
  • The venue or postcode

We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.

The process

A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. At midsummer, it’s light in Loxwood until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

  1. Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
  2. You hear back on the date and the price.
  3. The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
  4. Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
  5. The pitch is left tidy when we go.

How to prepare

  • Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
  • Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
  • Name one person we can call on the day

Ask for a quote

We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, use our quote form.

What comes out of the fryer

Pie and chips

Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s a favourite in colder months.

Mushy peas

No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.

Working with your venue

Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.

Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
  • Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
  • The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
  • Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
