Our fish and chip van hire in BN5
There is something generous about fish and chips: big pieces of fish, crisp batter and a mountain of chips. It turns a meal into an occasion. We serve sausage and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for weddings, especially the evening and care home visits.
Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- 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 it costs in BN5
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.

Chip van hire across BN5
From Henfield, Small Dole and Blackstone to 5 villages and hamlets, bookings across BN5 range from town-centre sites to farmyards, and a chip van suits every kind of setting. In towns, plan parking and access; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground.
Henfield: Churches such as St Peter's Church rarely have room for a van, but a hall or home close by normally does. PTAs at schools such as St Peter's CofE Primary School frequently look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. Evening events need a little planning for light: around Henfield, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
What affects the price in BN5
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- How many people are eating
- Service time
- Cod, haddock or both
- Parking and the way in
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Your date and serving time
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- A photo of the parking spot
- The spot you have in mind for the van
It is easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- A short menu helps everyone
- Add an allergy question to your invitations
- Have a back-up for anyone who cannot eat from the van
- Confirm allergies by email
Once everyone is fed, we pack up, leaving the pitch tidy.
Somewhere to sit or lean makes fish and chips easier to eat.

FAQs for BN5
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Cod or haddock?
We serve cod and haddock; we’ll agree the choice when we quote.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
