Party fish and chip van in Warminghurst
Warminghurst: your questions answered
Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Is Warminghurst close to London?
Roughly 41 miles from the centre of London.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can the van come to our street party?
Yes, once the council has agreed the closure. Mention the van in your application.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
What does the van need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.

What happens on the day

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Buffets are simple but rarely memorable. The van becomes part of the party. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.

Working with your venue
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Hosting at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
What the van needs
If a spot isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Flat, firm ground for the van
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Popular choices

Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
- Confirm allergies by email
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Arrange an alternative if needed
We arrive, park up and heat the fryers, and serve as the party carries on.
Seats or a few tables help people eat comfortably.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the party.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Perfect for your party in Warminghurst
You don’t need a venue: a drive or a firm spot near the garden will do.
