Party fish and chip van for Singleton events
Party fish and chip van for your party in Singleton
You do not need to hire a hall: a chip van on the drive turns your home into the venue. We’re frequently asked to cater family celebrations after a christening and birthday parties, with sausage and chips, haddock and chips and curry sauce.
In a small place like Singleton, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Singleton questions
Is Singleton too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Singleton close to London?
Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
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.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
How early do summer dates go?
Summer weekends go first. Ask about your date.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Do you do street parties?
Yes, with the council’s permission for the road closure. Mention the van in your application.
What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Planners, venues and businesses
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.

It feels like a treat, and it gets people talking.
We can help if you’re planning any of the following:

Before booking anyone
- A clear list of what’s included
- How many hours the van serves
- What happens if plans change
- The minimum number of meals or minimum spend
Space, access and the venue
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A short walk from the party
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
- Put allergy details in writing
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
- Count children separately
For a children’s party, serve food about an hour in, before the cake.
A gazebo by the hatch keeps the queue dry.
Party venues around Singleton
Singleton is about 5 miles north of Chichester, in West Sussex. Give us the address of your party in Singleton, and we will plan access and set-up. We take the van to 371 places across West Sussex. We serve events right across the region, from Singleton to Guildford (24 miles away).
Among the historic houses close to Singleton are West Dean House (1.2 miles west) and Goodwood House (2.8 miles south). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on vehicles and caterers, so for most parties a home or hired hall is simpler. The South Downs National Park is within about 6 miles of Singleton, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.

We also bring the van to parties in Charlton (1 mile east), West Dean (1 mile west), East Dean (2 miles east), Cocking (3 miles north) and Heyshott (3 miles north-east).

What happens on the day
The first sign we’ve arrived is typically the smell, about the time the first guests wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. Sunset in Singleton drops to about 7:05pm by late September and 4:00pm by December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- 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
- Let us know the serving time
- Give us a contact for the day
- Make sure the van can get in

What affects the price in Singleton
These are the factors that matter most:
- The number of meals
- The minimum booking
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The date and time of year
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The venue or postcode
- Your date and serving time
Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: tell us the basics about your party, and we will firm it up nearer the time. Start when you are ready: send us your details through our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the party.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
