How fish and chip van hire works in GU29

There’s something generous about fish and chips: big pieces of fish, crisp batter and a mountain of chips. It turns a meal into an occasion. Typical bookings include community events and fairs and garden parties and summer get-togethers, serving haddock and chips, gravy and curry sauce.

You’ll know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first guests wander across. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch.

What’s near Midhurst

You’ll find the van serving near The Egmont Public House, St Margaret's Convent and Midhurst CofE Primary School, among other places. Nearby too are Roman Catholic Church of Divine Motherhood (under half a mile east) and Midhurst Rother College (0.6 miles north-east). A little further out are Midhurst Community Hospital (0.8 miles north-east) and Lodsworth Castle (3.2 miles east). Green spaces within easy reach include Levin Down and Iping and Stedham Commons.

Chip van hire across GU29

Across GU29, we serve 3 towns and 19 villages and hamlets, so whether your event is in Midhurst, Easebourne and Stedham or a quiet village, the approach is the same: a level spot, a clear way in and a plan. Parts of GU29 are within a few miles of the South Downs National Park, where some venues have extra rules about vehicles.

Midhurst: After a service at Roman Catholic Church of Divine Motherhood, the van can be waiting at a nearby hall or house. Historic houses near Midhurst include Cowdray House (0.6 miles north-east). Historic venues frequently limit vehicles, so ask early if you’re booking one. Around midsummer it stays light in Midhurst until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.

Food your guests will love

Haddock and chips

Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

Cod and chips

Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.

Is a fish and chip van right for you?

Cold buffets are easy but forgettable, and nothing’s hot on a cool evening. A chip van cooks to order and serves hot.

Planning the van’s spot

The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:

Flat, firm ground for the van
Room in front of the hatch for a queue
Lighting nearby for evening events

How we price a fish and chip van

The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:

Your choice of menu
The number of meals
The date and time of year
Parking and the way in

Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.

What we need to know

When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:

The venue or postcode
Expected numbers
Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
Your date and serving time

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A photo of the spot helps too. When you are ready, use our quote form.

Questions from GU29

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.

How long are you on site?

That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.

Can the van park on grass?

It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.

What can guests choose from?

The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.

Do you do anything other than fish?

Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.

What does it cost to hire the van?

Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.

Do you fry it on site?

It is. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
