Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it’s on the menu.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
What a fish and chip van costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- Cod, haddock or both
- The length of service
- Distance and any road charges
- The date and time of year
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.

These details help us quote quickly:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- The address or venue name
- Your date and serving time

FAQs for Colliers Green
Do you come to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is Colliers Green too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
When should we eat?
Food early on is generally wise. For a lunch, tell us your break time.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
Yes, with a level spot such as a car park and the site’s agreement.
What the van needs
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Popular choices
- Mushy peas

Planning help
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
