Our fish and chip van hire in GU28
If the van can park there, we can fry there: a driveway, a car park, a yard or a firm field. On the menu are haddock and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce, and typical bookings are for garden parties and summer get-togethers and gatherings after a funeral.
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
What it costs in GU28
Larger groups typically cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What you get with us
- Events in GU28 and across West Sussex

What’s near Petworth
Bookings here are frequently close to The Old Square Tavern, Petworth Cof E Primary School and Sacred Heart Church and the streets around them. Petworth’s nearest station is Pulborough station, roughly 4.4 miles south-east of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Coates Castle (2.6 miles south) and Coultershaw Heritage Site (1.2 miles south). Within reach you will find The Mens.
Planning a chip van in GU28
Across GU28, we serve 3 towns and 17 villages and hamlets, so the setting can be anything from Petworth, Lodsworth and Hampers Green to a quiet hamlet: firm ground, access and agreed timings. Parts of GU28 are within a few miles of the South Downs National Park, where some venues have extra rules about vehicles.
Petworth: If guests are travelling by rail, Pulborough station, about 4.4 miles south-east, is the nearest station. School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as Petworth Cof E Primary School, can book the van as a food stall. Light matters for evening service: around Petworth, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Is a fish and chip van right for you?
A plated meal needs a kitchen, more staff and generally costs more per head. A fish and chip van needs a level spot and permission to park, and the food is cooked to order.
What your quote should include
- How allergens are handled
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Whether VAT is included
- What the van needs: space, access, power
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
Before you choose a spot
If a spot isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
Questions from GU28
Can the van park on grass?
Normally, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is typically simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
Is fish and chips enough as a meal?
Fish and chips is a meal in itself. Many hosts add their own desserts or cake.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
