About our party fish and chip van in Shoreham
The queue at the hatch gets people mixing. Typical bookings include family reunions and retirement parties, serving sausage and chips, cod and chips and gravy.
In a small place like Shoreham, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we will handle the rest. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
What the van needs
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Why choose party fish and chip van in Shoreham?
You do not need a venue: a drive or firm lawn is enough.
In Shoreham and nearby, the van turns up at all sorts of events. Some of the most common are:
- Family celebrations after a christening
- Birthday parties
- Kids’ birthday parties
- Family reunions
Thinking of using Raspberry Hall Park? Parks usually need the owner’s permission, often the council’s, before a catering van can park or trade.

FAQs for Shoreham
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Do you need power or water from us?
A suitable spot for the van, mainly. Mention power and water and we will confirm the rest.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
