Party fish and chip van for Walderton events
Walderton questions
Is Walderton too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Walderton from London?
Roughly 54 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
How early do summer dates go?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so ask early.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
About our party fish and chip van in Walderton
A chip van also works for street parties, once the council has agreed the road closure. Whether it’s family celebrations after a christening and children’s parties, we can cook haddock and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips for your guests.
Country parties near Walderton suit a chip van: cooked to order and eaten on the lawn. Plan a firm spot in case it rains. Timings are planned around your party, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

How the day works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. At midsummer, it is light in Walderton until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Clear the route for the van

Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
A hog roast is pork only, while a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your party.

About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce and it is on the menu.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Send us a photo of the drive
- Put allergy details in writing
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
Let the neighbours know the van is coming.
A gazebo by the hatch keeps the queue dry.

A christening at The Parish Church of St Mary followed by fish and chips on the drive is a simple, popular plan. Among the historic houses close to Walderton are Uppark (4.3 miles north) and West Dean House (4.7 miles east). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on vehicles and caterers, so for most parties a home or hired hall is simpler. Walderton is within about 6 miles of the South Downs National Park, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.

Questions to ask before booking
- The service time, and the cost of running over
- How late numbers can change
- What the van needs: space, access, power
- What happens if the event is cancelled or moved
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
