Fish and chip van hire across BN17
Rain does not stop a fish and chip van, because the fryers are inside. That makes it a safe bet for British events. On the menu are curry sauce, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and we’re often booked for milestone birthday parties and fish and chip days at care homes.
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Cost
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. We set everything out in your quote.
Why book with us
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Classic food your guests already know
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Hot food handed straight over
How to get a price

Fish and chip van hire in BN17: local guide
From Littlehampton, Rustington and Wick to 4 villages and hamlets, bookings across BN17 range from town-centre sites to farmyards, and the van works in all of them. Town bookings mean planning parking; village bookings mean planning access. Around 8 places in BN17 are close to the coast, where we always think about shelter for the queue, and fish and chips feels right at home.
Littlehampton: Among the historic houses close to Littlehampton are Ecclesden Manor (2.9 miles north-east). Historic venues frequently limit vehicles, so ask early if you are booking one. For guests coming by train, the closest railway station is Littlehampton station, roughly 0.7 miles west of the centre. Around midsummer it stays light in Littlehampton until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are generally served in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 4:00pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
About the food
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Events we cater in BN17
It needs no kitchen, so it works on drives, car parks and showgrounds where plated meals are hard.
Whatever the occasion in BN17, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. We’re often booked for:
- Work Christmas parties
- Visits to care homes and day centres
- Village fêtes and school fairs
- Birthday celebrations
Space, access and the venue
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Access wide and high enough for the van
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Working with your venue
Having the party at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Organising a club, school or community event in BN17? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.
Questions from BN17
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information.
Is it a full meal?
Yes. A portion of fish, chips and peas is a proper meal, and you can add your own cake or desserts.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
