Chichester: your questions answered
How far is Chichester from London?
About 54 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to Chichester?
Chichester station, about 0.6 miles south of the centre.
Do you do customer events and open days?
Yes. A chip van gives visitors something to queue for and talk about.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Can we pay by invoice?
Ask us when you enquire and we’ll explain how booking and payment work.
Do you come to Chichester?
We do. Chichester is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Chichester
It suits office staff, drivers, warehouse teams and site crews alike, because fish and chips is food everyone knows. On the menu are haddock and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips, and we are often booked for project milestones and warehouse, depot and site teams.
Workplaces in Chichester range from offices to industrial units. A chip van feeds the team on site. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Planning a team lunch in Chichester
Chichester is about 27 miles east of Southampton, in West Sussex. We park up at homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Chichester and nearby villages. We serve 371 places across West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. We serve events right across the region, from Chichester to Southampton (about 27 miles away).
Within reach of Chichester are historic houses such as Goodwood House (2.7 miles north-east) and West Dean House (4.6 miles north). For a client event at a historic house, ask early about rules for catering vans. Chichester is about 54 miles from central London.
Staff events anywhere in PO19, PO20, PO18 and PO10 start with a parking spot for the van and roughly how many staff. Streets in the area include St Martin's Square, Market Road and Old Market Avenue, and the van can serve a staff event on any of them with a suitable parking spot. You’ll find Chichester on the A27 and A259, so it is easy for us to reach with the van. If your venue is just outside Chichester, we also cover Portfield (1 mile east), Westhampnett (1 mile north-east), Shopwyke (2 miles east), Maudlin (2 miles north-east) and East Lavant (2 miles north). Larger places within reach include Bognor Regis (5 miles south-east), Selsey (7 miles south), Littlehampton (11 miles east), Emsworth (7 miles west), Rustington (12 miles east) and Storrington (15 miles east).

- Local schools include Central C of E Junior School (less than half a mile west) and Chichester High School For Girls (0.7 miles south)
- Local pubs include George and Dragon Inn (less than half a mile south-east)
Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- The menu and how many choices
- How many people are eating
- How long we serve
- Whether a minimum applies
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
The more we know about your staff event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The address or venue name
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Rough numbers for adults and children
Still finalising the details? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll quote on that. To start, fill in our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Chichester?
Office caterers bring cold buffets. A chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
What you get with us
- Classic food your staff already know
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
See our prices page and the cost guide.
Space, access and the venue
We’ll be honest if a spot won’t work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A short walk from the party
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
