Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

A buffet is easy but forgettable. The van becomes part of the party. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.

Questions from West Barnham

Is West Barnham too small for a chip van?

No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

Can you serve near the sea around West Barnham?

Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.

Do you have a kids’ option?

Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.

How early do summer dates go?

Weekends from May to September are busiest, so ask early.

What do you need at the house?

Tell us what’s available at the address when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.

Do you clear up afterwards?

We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.

Can you do something for the children?

Sausage and chips, generally. Let us know numbers and ages.

Can the van come to West Barnham?

We do. West Barnham is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

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.

Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.

The menu, dish by dish

Pie and chips

Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s a favourite in colder months.

Mushy peas

Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.

Allergies and dietary needs

Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:

  • Flag any coeliac guests
  • Arrange an alternative if needed
  • Give us separate numbers for children
  • Ask guests about allergies when they reply

Let the neighbours know the van is coming, or invite them.

Seats or a few tables help people eat comfortably.

How it works

We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. A summer party in West Barnham stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

  1. It starts with your date, address and numbers.
  2. You get an access check and a clear price.
  3. On the day, we park up and get the fryers going.
  4. We fry fresh and serve from the hatch as your guests come up.
  5. We pack up afterwards and leave the drive tidy.

Preparing for the day

  • Tell us when you want to eat
  • Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
  • Name one person we can call on the day
