Party fish and chip van in Rotherbridge
How the day works
Your timings come first. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Midsummer parties in Rotherbridge stay bright until about 9:20pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:05pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.

Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Where the van can park in Rotherbridge
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

Pulborough station, about 4.8 miles east of the centre.
Is Rotherbridge too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.

Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.

Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
How far ahead should we book a party?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so ask early.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
