Party fish and chip van in Yapton
The process
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. For a late-May party in Yapton, sunset is around 8:50pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:20pm. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get an access check and a clear price.
- On the day we arrive, park up and heat the fryers.
- We fry fresh and serve from the hatch as your guests come up.
- We pack up when we are done and leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Get permission for the van from the venue

How our party fish and chip van works in Yapton
It feels like a treat, but stays relaxed: paper portions of fish and chips in the garden. We serve cod and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips, and we are often booked for street parties and family parties with children.
In a place like Yapton, a party at home is normally the easiest option. Let us know how the van reaches the house, and we will bring everything else. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

For planners, venues and organisers
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Yapton: your questions answered
We are gathering after a service at Yapton Free Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is Yapton close to London?
About 52 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the van park on my drive?
That depends on the space and the route in. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead branches, and we’ll tell you honestly.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
Do you come to Yapton?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Yapton is within our area and the rest of West Sussex. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The minimum booking
- Your choice of menu
- The number of meals
- Access and parking
Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Expected numbers
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The date and time of the event
To get a price, use our quote form. Tell us about your party in Yapton, and we’ll come back with availability and a quote.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with cooking a barbecue yourself, the host is not stuck cooking all afternoon. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.

Takeaway run or book a 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.
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 normally the easier option.
Allergies and dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
- Arrange an alternative if needed
- Send allergies to us in writing
Put bins and napkins near the hatch.
A sign by the hatch with the menu speeds things up.
What the van needs
Every site is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
