How our party fish and chip van works in Warnham
Birthdays, garden parties, anniversaries and christenings all suit a fish and chip van. It is food every generation enjoys. Whether it is leaving parties and summer garden parties, we’ll put together a menu of gravy, curry sauce and pie and chips for your guests.
Country parties near Warnham suit a chip van: cooked to order and eaten on the lawn. Have a firm back-up spot for wet weather. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your party, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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 typically the easier option.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.

Warnham parties: what to know
Warnham is about 2 miles north-west of Horsham, in West Sussex. We park up at drives, car parks, yards and venues around Warnham and nearby villages. Warnham is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex we cover. Our nearest city page is Guildford, about 15 miles away.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
A venue plus caterer can be expensive. With a van, home becomes the venue. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

How it works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your guests, and we agree exactly where before the day. For a late-May party in Warnham, sunset is around 8:50pm; at midsummer it is about 9:20pm. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- We start with a few details about your party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Warnham
How far is Warnham from London?
Roughly 30 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Warnham?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Can the van come to our street party?
Yes, once the council has agreed the closure. Mention the van in your application.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
