Fish and chip van hire across BN43

Fish and chips is the meal almost everyone in Britain knows and likes. It is why a chip van suits so many occasions. Typical bookings include milestone birthday parties and summer garden parties, with haddock and chips, gravy and sausage and chips.

A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot when you’re ready to eat.

First, tell us about your event.
We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.

Pricing in BN43

Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your event.

Chip van hire across BN43

From Shoreham-by-Sea, Southwick and Kingston by Sea to 2 villages and hamlets, bookings across BN43 range from town-centre sites to farmyards, and a chip van suits every kind of setting. Town bookings mean planning parking; village bookings mean planning access. 5 of the places we cover in BN43 are within about 6 miles of the sea, where we always think about shelter for the queue, and fish and chips feels right at home.

Shoreham-by-Sea: Coming by train? Shoreham-By-Sea station serves Shoreham-by-Sea directly. PTAs at schools such as Buckingham Park Primary School frequently look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. Light matters for evening service: around Shoreham-by-Sea, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.

What comes out of the fryer

Mushy peas

Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.

Gravy

Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.

Planning the van’s spot

Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:

The site’s agreement to a catering van
Room in front of the hatch for a queue
A spot near your guests

Organising for someone else?

Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.

Organising a club, school or community event in BN43? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.

Planning for dietary needs

A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:

Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
Count children separately
Put bins and napkins by the van
Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving

Once everyone is fed, we pack up.

Tell people when the van opens.

Is a chip van good for a large crowd?

It can be. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll tell you honestly how service will work.
