Fish and chip van hire for your event in Burgess Hill
The van needs no kitchen, no hall and no crockery. It needs a level, firm spot to park and a clear way in, which most drives, car parks and yards can offer. For wakes and celebrations of life and christmas parties, we’ll put together a menu of gravy, curry sauce and pie and chips.
Most bookings in a town like Burgess Hill are at homes, halls, clubs and workplaces. Each works well, as long as there’s a level spot the van can reach. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before you book.

Events we cater in Burgess Hill
Fish and chips suits nearly every crowd, from children to grandparents. The queue at the hatch gets people talking.
We’re booked for all kinds of occasions in Burgess Hill and nearby. Some of the most common are:
- Fish and chip days at care homes
- Evening wedding food
- Festive get-togethers
- Birthday celebrations
If you’re gathering after a service at a church like St John the Evangelist's Church, a nearby hall car park or drive suits the van.
Questions to ask before you book
- Exactly what’s included in the price
- What happens if the event is cancelled or moved
- The service time, and the cost of running over
- How late numbers can change
Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Where the van can park in Burgess Hill
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A spot near your guests
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Step by step
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. In Burgess Hill, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are normally served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- 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.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

A fish and chip van or other catering?
