About our party fish and chip van in South Bersted

For children, there’s sausage and chips, so one van feeds the whole party. On the menu are cod and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for summer garden parties and family parties with children.

In a place like South Bersted, a party at home is generally the easiest option. Let us know how the van reaches the house, and we will bring everything else. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Parties in South Bersted: homes, halls and local tips

South Bersted is about 1 mile north-east of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex. People in South Bersted book us for all sorts of reasons, but the plan is always the same: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. South Bersted is one of 371 places in West Sussex where we bring the van. Our bookings stretch from South Bersted to Brighton (24 miles away).

A christening at Church of St Mary Magdalene followed by fish and chips on the drive is a simple, popular plan. A green space like The Brooks Local Nature Reserve is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, generally the council’s. The coast is within about a mile, so a chip van is a natural choice.

Here we cover the PO21, PO22 and BN14 postcode area, so your party can be anywhere in it. We can serve a party on streets such as Ivy Lane, Hook Lane and Essex Road or the roads around them, wherever the van can park. If your venue is just outside South Bersted, we also cover Bognor Regis (1 mile south-west), Felpham (1 mile east), Shripney (1 mile north), Aldwick (2 miles south-west) and Flansham (2 miles north-east). We also serve nearby towns such as Worthing (12 miles east), Chichester (6 miles north-west), Selsey (6 miles south-west), Littlehampton (6 miles east), Emsworth (12 miles west) and Rustington (7 miles east).

A little further out are Bognor Regis War Memorial Hospital (less than half a mile south) and Bognor Regis Museum (0.8 miles south).

  • Local schools include The Regis School (0.7 miles west) and The Regis School (0.7 miles west)
  • Local pubs include The William Hardwicke pub (0.7 miles south)

Food your guests will love

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.

Mushy peas

No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.

15 questions to ask before booking

Diets, allergies and planning

Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:

  • Let your neighbours know
  • Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
  • Arrange an alternative if needed
  • A photo of the parking spot helps

When everyone has eaten, we pack up and leave the drive tidy.

A gazebo by the hatch keeps the queue dry.

How it works

Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. Afterwards we pack up. At midsummer, it’s light in South Bersted 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.

  1. Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
  2. A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
  3. A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
  4. The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
  5. Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

Preparing for the day

  • Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
  • Share the timings for the day
  • Let us know who to talk to on the day
