A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A spot near your guests
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
Popular choices
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips

Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Choose a lit spot for the van
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Agree the spot with the venue
Keep the walk from the door to the van short, so nobody is out in the cold for long.
Christmas music near the van sets the mood.
What happens on the day
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. In December, it’s dark in Udimore by about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Clear the route for the van
- Let us know the serving time
How to get a price
Send us the date, the address or TN31 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and you will get a clear price. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.
