The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and children love it.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Plan cover for the queue
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Plan lighting near the hatch
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
When service is finished, we pack up.
Christmas music near the van sets the mood.
For planners, venues and organisers
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
How the day works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. By about 3:55pm in late December, it’s dark in Burwash; choose a lit spot near the door for the van, and keep the walk short.

FAQs for Burwash
Is Burwash too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Burwash?
The closest is Stonegate station, roughly 1.8 miles away.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Can you serve in the cold?
The fryers are inside the van, so we carry on. Keep the van close to the door.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Cod, haddock or both
- The number of meals
- Distance and any road charges
- How long we serve
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
What we need to know
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the event is
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will come back with a clear quote.
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
