Questions from Petworth
How far is Petworth from London?
About 42 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Petworth?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you come to a street party?
Yes, once the council has agreed the closure. Tell the council about the van.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Party fish and chip van for your party in Petworth
Food is fried to order, so it is hot and crisp, rather than sitting on a buffet table all afternoon. Whether it is family reunions and leaving parties, we can cook cod and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips for your guests.
A country party near Petworth is perfect for fish and chips: fried fresh and eaten outside. Have a firm back-up spot for wet weather. Everything is fried fresh at your party, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

What the van needs
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
