About the food
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce and it is on the menu.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.

Common questions in Ninfield
Is Ninfield too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the van go to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for residents are worth planning.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
Do you cover Ninfield?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Ninfield is within our area. To check your date, use our quote form.
