How our party fish and chip van works in Northchapel
With a chip van, the host gets to enjoy the party too. The van parks, the fryers go on and the food goes out hot. Popular choices include gravy, haddock and chips and curry sauce, and typical bookings are for retirement parties and summer garden parties.
A country party near Northchapel is perfect for fish and chips: cooked to order and eaten on the lawn. Have a firm back-up spot for wet weather. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The length of service
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.

How far is Northchapel from London?
About 39 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you serve children?

Can the van come to Northchapel?
We do. We serve events in Northchapel and across West Sussex. Tell us your date and we will check availability.

Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
