About fish and chip van hire in BN45
Fish and chips is generous food: big pieces of fish, crisp batter and a mountain of chips. It makes the food a talking point. Typical bookings include community events and fairs and weddings and evening receptions, with mushy peas, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can get on with your event.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
What you will pay
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
What you get with us
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Quick service from the hatch
- All the chip-shop extras
How to get a price

Chip van hire across BN45
There are 3 towns and 3 villages and hamlets in BN45, so whether your event is in Pyecombe, Poynings and Saddlescombe or a quiet village, the approach is the same: a level spot, a clear way in and a plan. Around 3 places in BN45 are close to the coast, where we always think about shelter for the queue, and fish and chips feels right at home.
Pyecombe: For anyone arriving by rail, Hassocks station is about 1.9 miles away. If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like Downlands Community School, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. Late September evenings in Pyecombe lose the light at about 7:05pm, and in December it’s nearer 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the queue.
Working with your venue
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.
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Occasions we serve in BN45
A fish and chip van suits almost any crowd, young and old alike. The queue at the hatch gets people talking.
If you are planning any of these, we can help:
- Big birthdays
- Visits to care homes and day centres
- Summer garden parties
- Staff thank-you lunches
Space, access and the venue
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:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
Allergies and dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Tell us how many children are coming
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We park, set up, fry and serve, and keep in touch with you about timings.
A chalkboard by the hatch with the menu keeps the queue moving.
Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Common questions in BN45
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Can you feed a lot of people?
That depends on how many and how quickly. A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
