How fish and chip van hire works in PO22

Fish and chip van hire means the chip shop comes to you. The van parks up, the fryers go on and everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits waiting in a tray. We’re frequently asked to cater fish and chip days at care homes and evening wedding food, with mushy peas, gravy and pie and chips.

Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch.

We start with a few details about your event.
You get an availability check and a clear quote.
We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.

Chip van hire across PO22

From Bognor Regis, South Bersted and Middleton-on-Sea to 5 villages and hamlets, bookings across PO22 range from town-centre sites to farmyards, and the van works in all of them. Town bookings mean planning parking; village bookings mean planning access. 10 of the places we cover in PO22 are within about 6 miles of the sea, so we frequently plan a sheltered side for the queue.

Middleton-on-Sea: If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like Bishop Tufnell CofE Primary School, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. If guests are travelling by rail, the closest railway station is Bognor Regis station, roughly 2.5 miles west of the centre. Evenings in Middleton-on-Sea 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 a fish and chip van costs

Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:

Your choice of menu
Distance and any road charges
The minimum booking
Access and parking

Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.

What we need to know

Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:

Roughly how many people, including children
Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
Any dietary needs and allergies
Where the event is

We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

Next to a hog roast, a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies rather than one dish, which helps if some guests do not eat pork.

Questions to ask before you book

Exactly what’s included in the price
What they can offer for dietary needs
If the price includes VAT
What the van needs: space, access, power

Takeaway run or book a van?

Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

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.

Diets, allergies and planning

We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:

Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
Send allergies to us in writing
Add an allergy question to your invitations
Put bins and napkins by the van

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.

What the van needs

A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:

A lit spot if service runs after dark
Somewhere close to where people will eat
Room in front of the hatch for a queue

Questions from PO22

Do you have a kids’ option?

Of course. Children generally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.

What can guests choose from?

The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.

What if the weather’s bad?

The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

What about guests who do not eat fish?

Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.

Is the food cooked at the event?

Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.

Does a chip van work for big events?

It depends on numbers and timings. Staggering groups and keeping the menu short both help.

Does the batter contain gluten?

No, not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before booking.
