Our fish and chip van hire in BN13
If the van can park there, we can fry there: a driveway, a car park, a yard or a firm field. On the menu are mushy peas, sausage and chips and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for Fêtes, fairs and school events and garden get-togethers.
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Prices in BN13
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.

Fish and chip van hire in BN13: local guide
BN13 covers everything from Worthing, Durrington and Salvington to 4 small villages and hamlets, and a chip van suits every kind of setting. In towns, plan parking and access; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground. 10 of the places we cover in BN13 are within about 6 miles of the sea, so we frequently plan a sheltered side for the queue.
Worthing: For anyone arriving by rail, the closest railway station is West Worthing station, roughly 0.5 miles south-east of the centre. After a service at St Andrew's Church, the van can be waiting at a nearby hall or house. In Worthing, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Lighting nearby for evening events
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
- Confirm allergies by email
- Count children separately
After service, we pack up, leaving the pitch tidy.
A string of bunting by the van makes a lovely photo.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
What affects the price in BN13
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- How many people are eating
- How easy the site is to reach
- The date and time of year
- Whether a minimum applies
Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The date and time of the event
- A photo of the parking spot
- Where the van would park
- The venue or postcode
Still finalising the details? That is fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will firm it up nearer the time. Start when you’re ready: send us your details through our quote form.
Questions from BN13
Can you feed plenty of people?
That depends on how many and how quickly. A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not 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.
