Fish and chip van hire in RH14: what to expect
Fish and chips is generous food: crisp batter, flaky fish and plenty of chips. It turns a meal into an occasion. We’re frequently asked to cater garden get-togethers and big birthdays, with haddock and chips, pie and chips and curry sauce.
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.

Planning a chip van in RH14
There are 3 towns and 13 villages and hamlets in RH14, so whether your event is in Billingshurst, Wisborough Green and Loxwood or a quiet village, the approach is the same: a level spot, a clear way in and a plan.
Billingshurst: Churches such as Billingshurst Unitarian Chapel rarely have room for a van, but a hall or home close by generally does. Among the historic houses close to Billingshurst are Old Place Manor (4.9 miles south-west). Historic venues frequently limit vehicles, so ask early if you’re booking one. Evening events need a little planning for light: in Billingshurst, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. A van fries on the spot, so the batter is still crisp.
Questions to ask before booking
- How late numbers can change
- The service time, and the cost of running over
- If the price includes VAT
- Whether there is a minimum
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Put bins and napkins by the van
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
The fryers take a little while to heat, so we get there in good time. If timings shift, we adapt.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.
FAQs for RH14
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
What happens when we hire the van?
The van comes to you, cook fresh on site, and serve at the time you want.
- 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
