DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

For planners, venues and organisers
Having the party at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. At about 3:55pm in late December, it gets dark in Bexhill-on-Sea, so put the van where there’s good light.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.

Planning help
The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Plan cover for the queue
- Put allergy details in writing
Serving early, before the drinks flow, is often wise.
Hot drinks alongside make it even better.

FAQs for Bexhill-on-Sea
Can you serve near the sea around Bexhill-on-Sea?
Yes, of course. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Could you trade in Egerton Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
What time is best for food?
Early in the evening usually works best. For lunchtime, we will work to your break.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
A cold buffet in December is not much of a treat. Hot fish and chips is. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
