Our fish and chip van hire in RH15
Because the cooking is in the van, the weather does not stop us. That makes it a safe bet for British events. On the menu are curry sauce, cod and chips and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for festive get-togethers and weddings and evening receptions.
There is very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your event. We handle the cooking and serving.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, park up and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried fresh and handed over from the hatch.
- When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.

Chip van hire across RH15
From Burgess Hill, Lewes and World's End to 2 villages and hamlets, bookings across RH15 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. Parts of RH15 are within a few miles of the South Downs National Park, so check venue rules on vehicles for countryside events.
Burgess Hill: Historic houses near Burgess Hill include Ockenden Manor (3.4 miles north). Historic venues frequently limit vehicles, so ask early if you’re booking one. If guests are travelling by rail, Burgess Hill station serves Burgess Hill directly. Evenings in Burgess Hill stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; once it is dark, we need light by the hatch and the queue.
Planning the van’s spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A clear area by the serving hatch
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Arrange an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- A short menu helps everyone
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We park, set up, fry and serve, and keep in touch with you about timings.
A chalkboard by the hatch with the menu keeps the queue moving.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
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.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
How we price a fish and chip van
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- Numbers
- How far we travel
- How long we serve
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The venue or postcode
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A picture of where the van would go
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
FAQs for RH15
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
What happens when we hire the van?
The van parks at your venue, we fry fresh and serve from the hatch.
What does the van need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
- 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
