Fish and chip van hire across PO20

The queue at the hatch is part of the fun. People chat, the smell drifts across, and the food arrives hot. We’re often asked to cater care home visits and staff thank-you lunches, with mushy peas, sausage and chips and gravy.

Changes on the day are fine: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your event.

  1. Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
  2. Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
  3. Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
  4. The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
  5. Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

Fish and chip van hire in PO20: local guide

PO20 covers everything from Chichester, Selsey and Portfield to 30 small villages and hamlets, and the van works in all of them. Town bookings mean planning parking; village bookings mean planning access. Around 34 places in PO20 are close to the coast, where we always think about shelter for the queue.

Selsey: School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as Seal Primary Academy, can book the van as a food stall. If you’re gathering after a service at a church like St Peter's Church, a nearby hall car park or drive suits the van. Evenings in Selsey stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the queue and the path to the van need good lighting.

What affects the price in PO20

These are the factors that matter most:

  • Access and parking
  • The date and time of year
  • How far we travel
  • The length of service

Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.

Getting an accurate quote

You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:

  • Where the van would park
  • Allergies and diets you know about
  • The address or venue name
  • A picture of the parking spot

To get a price, send us your details through our quote form. Tell us about your event in PO20, and we’ll come back with availability and a quote.

Should I sort the food myself?

A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.

Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Looking after everyone

Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:

  • A short menu helps everyone
  • Arrange an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
  • Give us separate numbers for children
  • Confirm allergies by email

Bins and napkins near the hatch make life easier for everyone.

Let everyone know when the food is ready, so they don’t miss out.

Is a fish and chip van right for you?

A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. The van cooks right there, so it’s crisp when it is handed over.

What your quote should include

  • Travel, tolls and road charges
  • The deadline for final numbers
  • The cancellation terms
  • How many hours the van serves

FAQs for PO20

How quickly can you serve everyone?

It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.

Can the van park on grass?

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

Do you fry it on site?

Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.

How soon do we need to book?

As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.

What if we only have street parking?

Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.

What’s on the menu?

Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.

Can you feed plenty of people?

It can be. Give us your numbers and service time, and we will tell you honestly how service will work.
