The van parks outside and serves hot food. On the menu are mushy peas, curry sauce and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for christmas customer days and christmas socials for clubs.
In a small place like East Worldham, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We plan the timings around your day, so the food is ready when you want to eat.
Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

There is no venue to book or taxis to arrange, because the van comes to you.
We can help if you’re planning any of the following:
- Festive open days

- Whether travel is included

The process
We don’t cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. By about 4:00pm in late December, it’s dark in East Worldham; choose a lit spot near the door for the van, and keep the walk short.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Plan cover for the queue
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Confirm allergies by email
- Have a back-up for special diets
Keep the walk from the door to the van short, so nobody is out in the cold for long.
Fairy lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
Planners, venues and businesses
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
What a fish and chip van costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- The date and time of year
- Parking and the way in
- The length of service
- Distance and any road charges
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- The venue or postcode
- Expected numbers
- Your date and serving time
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.

No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What’s the nearest station to East Worldham?
The closest is Alton station, roughly 1.8 miles away.
Do you do work Christmas parties?
We do. Tell us the date, site and numbers as early as you can.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
