How fish and chip van hire works in RH12

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. Popular choices include cod and chips, pie and chips and curry sauce, and we’re often booked for Fêtes, fairs and school events and wakes and celebrations of life.

Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served.

  1. Send us your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check access for the van and quote.
  3. We arrive in good time to set up.
  4. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
  5. Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.

A fish and chip van across RH12: what to know

There are 3 towns and 13 villages and hamlets in RH12, so whether your event is in Crawley, Horsham and Bewbush or a quiet village, the approach is the same: a level spot, a clear way in and a plan.

Horsham: If guests are travelling by rail, Horsham station is in Horsham itself. Parks such as Warnham Park normally need permission from the council or landowner for a catering van, so check first. Light matters for evening service: in Horsham, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm.

Prices and what affects them

The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:

  • How long we serve
  • The number of meals
  • Whether a minimum applies
  • How far we travel

Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.

What we need to know

You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:

  • A picture of where the van would go
  • Expected numbers
  • Dietary needs, with numbers
  • The spot you have in mind for the van

The quickest way to a quote is to send us your details through our quote form. Give us the details of your event, and we’ll check the date and send a price.

Planning for dietary needs

Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:

  • Give us separate numbers for children
  • A short menu helps everyone
  • Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
  • Put allergy details in writing

A short menu keeps service quick, especially when everyone wants to eat at once.

Tell people when the van opens.

Takeaway run or book a van?

Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.

DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Working with your venue

For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.

For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.

Before you choose a spot

Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:

  • A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
  • A short walk from the party
  • Lighting nearby for evening events

Your questions about a fish and chip van in RH12

Can you cook in the rain?

Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.

Is there something for children?

Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.

Where can the van park?

Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.

Is everything cooked fresh?

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

Can you feed a lot of people?

That depends on how many and how quickly. A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving.

Is grass a problem?

It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.

Can we choose cod or haddock?

We serve cod and haddock; tell us which you’d like for your event.

  • 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
  • Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
