How our party fish and chip van works in Warningcamp
With a chip van, the host gets to enjoy the party too. The van parks, the fryers go on and the food goes out hot. Whether it is milestone birthdays and garden parties and summer get-togethers, we can cook mushy peas, gravy and sausage and chips.
A country party near Warningcamp is perfect for fish and chips: fried fresh and eaten outside. Plan a firm spot in case it rains. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Warningcamp questions
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Which station is closest to Warningcamp?
Arundel station, about 1 mile west of the centre.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
What do you need at the house?
A suitable spot for the van, mainly. Tell us what’s available and we will take it from there.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Is grass a problem?
Generally, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
