Fish and chip van hire across RH13

Fish and chip van hire means the chip shop comes to you. We park up, heat the fryers and cook to order, so every portion goes out hot and crisp. Popular choices include cod and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for Fêtes, fairs and school events and fish and chip days at care homes.

We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day.

A fish and chip van across RH13: what to know

From Horsham, Roffey and Southwater to 25 villages and hamlets, bookings across RH13 range from town-centre sites to farmyards, and the van works in all of them. In towns, plan parking and access; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground.

Southwater: For anyone arriving by rail, the closest railway station is Christs Hospital station, roughly 1.9 miles north-west of the centre. School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as Southwater Infant Academy, can book the van as a food stall. Light matters for evening service: in Southwater, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.

What affects the price in RH13

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

The date and time of year
Parking and the way in
Your choice of menu
Distance and any road charges

Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.

Details that help

To speed things up, tell us:

A picture of where the van would go
Where you’d like the van to go
The venue or postcode
Roughly how many people, including children

It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will come back with a clear quote.

Planning the van’s spot

Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:

A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
Space for people to queue at the hatch

For planners, venues and organisers

If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.

Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.

FAQs for RH13

Can we choose cod or haddock?

What happens if it rains?

The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.

Can you serve children?

Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.

How much space do you need?

A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
