A chip van near Albourne
Albourne: your questions answered
Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you come out to small places like Albourne?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.
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.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac residents and we will explain the options before booking.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, including West Sussex. See all areas.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.

- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.

Working with your venue
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
What the van needs
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Away from bedroom windows
- Clear of ambulance access and emergency routes
- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
What we serve
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Gravy
- Pie and chips
- Cod and chips
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How easy the site is to reach
- The number of meals
- The length of service
- Cod, haddock or both
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Your date and serving time
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- A picture of the space and the way in
