  3. We arrive early, set up and get the fryers hot.
  4. Everything is fried fresh and handed over from the hatch.

Chip van hire across BN99

From Goring-by-Sea to 0 villages and hamlets, bookings across BN99 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.

Goring-by-Sea: A green space like Durrington Minature Railway is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, usually the council’s. School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as Goring-By-Sea CofE (Aided) Primary School, can book the van as a food stall. Evening events need a little planning for light: in Goring-by-Sea, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 4:00pm.

Planners, venues and businesses

Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.

Why a fish and chip van works

People book a chip van because it’s food and a bit of fun at once. The hatch becomes a meeting point, and the food is hot and generous.

Whatever the occasion in BN99, fish and chips from the hatch goes down well. We regularly serve:

  • Care home visits
  • Garden parties and summer get-togethers
  • Milestone birthday parties
  • Staff lunches and team days

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.

Space, access and the venue

Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:

  • The site’s agreement to a catering van
  • A lit spot if service runs after dark
  • A level, firm spot the van can drive onto

What a fish and chip van costs

There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:

  • Access and parking
  • The number of meals
  • The day of the week
  • Cod, haddock or both

The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.

What to tell us

You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:

  • The venue or postcode
  • A photo of the space and the way in
  • How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
  • Where the van would park
