The process
We do not cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. It gets dark in Shover's Green by about 3:55pm at Christmas; park the van where there’s good light, 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.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.

- Whether a minimum applies
- Your choice of menu

- The number of meals
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.

FAQs for Shover's Green
Is Shover's Green close to London?
About 37 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the van park in Wadhurst Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your Christmas party and we’ll send a quote.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Do you come to Shover's Green?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Shover's Green is within our area and the rest of East Sussex. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
