About fish and chip van hire in PO18

There is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. It needs a level, firm spot to park and a clear way in, which most drives, car parks and yards can offer. We serve cod and chips, gravy and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for milestone birthday parties and care home visits.

Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.

Landmarks near Bosham

Bosham’s nearest station is Bosham station, roughly 0.8 miles north-east of the centre.

A fish and chip van across PO18: what to know

Across PO18, we serve 3 towns and 32 villages and hamlets, so whether your event is in Chichester, Portfield and Fishbourne or a quiet village, the approach is the same: firm ground, access and agreed timings. Parts of PO18 are within a few miles of the South Downs National Park, where some venues have extra rules about vehicles. 10 of the places we cover in PO18 are within about 6 miles of the sea, so we frequently plan a sheltered side for the queue, and fish and chips feels right at home.

Bosham: School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as Bosham Primary School, can book the van as a food stall. For a christening or celebration after a service at a church such as The United Reformed Church, the van can serve at a hall or home nearby. Late September evenings in Bosham lose the light at about 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 4:00pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the queue.

Space, access and the venue

If a spot is not suitable, we will tell you, and help find another. The main points are:

Lighting nearby for evening events
Flat, firm ground for the van
Space for people to queue at the hatch

Prices and what affects them

Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:

Numbers
The date and time of year
Whether a minimum applies
Service time

Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.

Getting an accurate quote

The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:

Where the event is
Where you’d like the van to go
Rough numbers for adults and children
A picture of the parking spot

Each quote is put together for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.

Occasions we serve in PO18

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

These are some of the bookings we take in PO18 and West Sussex:

Weddings and evening receptions
Festive get-togethers
Summer garden parties
Company team days

Diets, allergies and planning

A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:

Send allergies to us in writing
Plan bins near the queue
Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
Ask about allergies on your invitation or sign-up form

Fish and chips is best eaten straight away, so we fry to order as the queue moves.

Tables or benches nearby help people eat comfortably.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

Barbecues cook in batches, and someone has to stand over the grill. With a van, nobody misses the event.

Questions to ask before you book

Questions from PO18

What happens if it rains?

We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.

How long does set-up take?

We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.

Do we need to provide anything?

Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.

Is there something for children?

Yes. Children typically love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.

Do you clear up afterwards?

We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.

Which areas do you serve?

We take the van across London and the South East, West Sussex included. See all areas.

Where can the van park?

Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.

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
