How our party fish and chip van works in Rowfant
Street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers suit a chip van too, once the council has agreed the road closure. For family celebrations after a christening and street parties, we can cook haddock and chips, curry sauce and gravy.
In a small place like Rowfant, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. We plan the timings around your day, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Distance and any road charges
- How long we serve
- Numbers
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your party.

Step by step
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot when you’re ready to eat. At midsummer, it’s light in Rowfant until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- It starts with your date, address and numbers.
- We check where the van can park and send a price.
- We arrive, park on the drive or agreed spot and set up.
- We fry fresh and serve from the hatch as your guests come up.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the drive tidy.

Rowfant parties: what to know
Rowfant is about 4 miles east of Crawley, in West Sussex. From the centre of Rowfant to the outskirts, the service works the same way: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. Rowfant is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Rowfant to Brighton (20 miles away).
A christening at All Saints Parish Church followed by fish and chips on the drive is a simple, popular plan. Within reach of Rowfant are historic houses such as Gravetye Manor (2.7 miles south-east) and Saint Hill Manor (3.4 miles east). For most parties, a home or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict vehicle rules. Rowfant is within about 7 miles of the High Weald National Landscape, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.
For parties in RH10, we just need to know where the van can park. For parties just outside Rowfant, we cover Copthorne (2 miles north-west), Worth (2 miles west), Pound Hill (2 miles west), Maidenbower (2 miles south-west) and Keeper's Corner (2 miles north). Further out, we also take the van to Crawley (4 miles west), Horsham (10 miles west), Haywards Heath (8 miles south), Burgess Hill (11 miles south), East Grinstead (4 miles east) and Broadfield (5 miles west).
Nearby you will also find County Mall (3.6 miles west) and Langley Green Hospital (4 miles west). Within reach you will find Hedgecourt Lake.
Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A spot near your guests
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Popular choices
- Gravy
- Haddock and chips
- Chips
- Curry sauce
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
- Pie and chips
- Mushy peas
Rowfant questions
Is Rowfant close to London?
Roughly 26 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the van go to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
How much does a fish and chip van for your party cost in Rowfant?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
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’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
