Party fish and chip van in Marehill, fried fresh

With a chip van, the host gets to enjoy the party too. We park up, fry to order and hand it over hot. Typical bookings include naming days and christenings and children’s parties, with sausage and chips, haddock and chips and gravy.

Near Marehill, parties are often in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll plan the route. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

What happens on the day

There is very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your party. We handle the cooking and serving. Sunset in Marehill is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. After dark, light the area around the van.

  1. It starts with your date, address and numbers.
  2. We check where the van can park and send a price.
  3. On the day we arrive, park up and heat the fryers.
  4. Guests come up to the hatch and we fry to order.
  5. We pack up when we’re done and leave the pitch tidy.

Preparing for the day

  • Have a level parking spot ready
  • Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
  • Clear the route for the van

Takeaway run or book a van?

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.

Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.

Working with your venue

Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

Questions from Marehill

How far is Marehill from London?

About 41 miles from central London.

We are gathering after a service at Wiggonholt Church: 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. Tell us where you will gather.

Where can the van park?

A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.

How quickly can you serve everyone?

That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.

What do you need at the house?

Mostly just a good parking spot. Tell us what’s available and we’ll take it from there.

Do you have allergen information?

We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.

Can the van park on the street?

It depends on the road. Off-road parking is normally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.

Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?

Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.

Everyone from toddlers to grandparents enjoys it, so it’s ideal for family parties.

15 questions to ask before you book

Allergies and dietary needs

Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:

  • Ensure the van can park legally
  • Mention the van to neighbours
  • Confirm allergies by email
  • Ask about dietary needs on the invitation

We arrive, park up and heat the fryers, and serve as the party carries on.

Put the menu up by the van.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

A takeaway order for a party takes ages and arrives lukewarm. The van cooks right there. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

What you get with us

  • Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
  • We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
  • A menu almost everyone likes
  • Everything cooked to order at your event

What comes out of the fryer

Haddock and chips

Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.

Curry sauce

Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.

Marehill is about 10 miles north of Worthing, in West Sussex. Parties in Marehill are planned around your venue and timings: a clear quote, an agreed spot for the van and food fried fresh on the day. We take the van to 371 places in West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Marehill to Brighton (about 17 miles away).

Christenings and naming days frequently start at a local church such as Wiggonholt Church, with fish and chips at home or in a hall afterwards.

For most parties, a home or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict vehicle rules.
