Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Crockerhill
Do you come out to small places like Crockerhill?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you serve near the sea around Crockerhill?
Yes, of course. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is normally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Can families and staff eat too?
Yes, it’s a lovely chance for families to visit.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, including West Sussex. Find your area.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for residents are worth planning.
Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

How the day works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. Sunset in Crockerhill is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September; winter visits, dark by about 4:00pm, suit lunchtime.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Give us a contact for the day
Getting a price
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can use our quote form.
