Party fish and chip van for your party in Streat

A chip van also works for street parties, once the council has agreed the road closure. Typical bookings include garden get-togethers and retirement parties, serving haddock and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips.

A country party near Streat is perfect for fish and chips: fried fresh and eaten outside. Have a firm back-up spot for wet weather. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Where: Streat (BN6, BN7)
Region: West Sussex
From the fryer: Cod, haddock, chips, sausages, pies

Working with your venue

For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.

For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.

How it works

Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. Midsummer parties in Streat stay bright until about 9:20pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:05pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you’re eating late.

First, the plan: what, where and what time.
You hear back on the date and the 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

Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
Keep space clear for guests at the hatch

Prices and what affects them

The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:

Distance and any road charges
Service time
How many people are eating
The day of the week

Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your party.

What we need to know

You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:

Where you’d like the van to go
Rough numbers for adults and children
The venue or postcode
The date and time of the event

Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can use our quote form.

Looking after everyone

Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:

Check the street’s parking rules
Count children separately
Ask guests about allergies when they reply
Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet

It’s worth telling the neighbours, or invite them.

Somewhere to sit makes eating easier.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

Buffets are simple but rarely memorable. A chip van gives guests something to talk about. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

Streat: your questions answered

Is Streat too small for a chip van?

Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.

We’re gathering after a service at Streat Church: can you come?

Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.

Which areas do you serve?

London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.

Can you park on the road outside?

That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is typically simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.

How much does a fish and chip van for your party cost in Streat?

We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.

How early do summer dates go?

Summer weekends go first. Ask about your date.

Is everything cooked fresh?

Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.

How long will the queue be?

It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.

What comes out of the fryer

Curry sauce

Curry sauce divides opinion and it’s on the menu.

Haddock and chips

Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.

Takeaway run or book a van?

If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.

Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
