How it works
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. For a summer visit in Winchelsea Beach, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:15pm, which makes garden visits easy. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- 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.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Get permission for the van from the venue

Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Winchelsea Beach? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Tell us about residents’ needs in writing
- Choose a spot away from ambulance routes
- Plan how food reaches residents indoors
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
Visitors are welcome if included in numbers.
Bunting, deckchairs and a seaside theme make it an occasion.
