A chip van compared with other options

Next to a DIY barbecue, a chip van means nobody is stuck at the grill. Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.

Choosing a fish and chip van

Planning for dietary needs

With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:

Ask guests about allergies when they reply
Tell us how many children are coming
Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
Send allergies to us in writing

We park on the agreed spot and set up, and serve as the party carries on.

Bunting and festoon lights by the van make it part of the party.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Nutbourne

Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?

Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.

Do you come out to small places like Nutbourne?

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

Do you cover Nutbourne?

Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Nutbourne and the rest of West Sussex. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.

Do we need to provide equipment?

Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.

Is there something for children?

Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.

When do you arrive?

It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.

Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?

Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.

What areas do you cover?

We take the van across London and the South East, including West Sussex. See all areas.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?

Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.

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.

What comes out of the fryer

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

The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.

How the day works

We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Your guests can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. Sunset in Nutbourne drops to about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December, so think about lighting by the van.
