Space, access and the venue

The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:

  • Room in front of the hatch for a queue
  • Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
  • A route in without tight gates or low branches

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

From the hatch

  • Mushy peas
  • Sausage and chips
  • Pie and chips
  • Cod and chips
  • Staff lunches
  • Haddock and chips

Allergies and dietary needs

We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:

  • Find out what documents the site needs
  • Share the shift pattern
  • Let us know about coeliac disease
  • Agree the van’s spot with facilities

We get there ahead of the lunch break, so we are ready when the first group comes out.

Some teams make it a regular treat.

Occasions we serve in Alciston

Choosing a fish and chip van

Questions from Alciston

Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?

Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.

Is Alciston too small for a chip van?

No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.

Can you park on the road outside?

That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is normally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.

How far ahead should we book?

Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.

Can the van come to our open day?

Yes. A chip van gives visitors something to queue for and talk about.

Can you invoice the company?

Ask us when you enquire and we will explain how booking and payment work.

What’s on the menu?

Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.

When do you arrive?

That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.

The menu, dish by dish

Cod and chips

Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.

Sausage and chips

Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.

The process

The first sign we have arrived is generally the smell, about the time the first staff wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. After-work summer events in Alciston have daylight until about 9:15pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.

  1. First, tell us about your staff event.
  2. You get an availability check and a clear quote.
  3. Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
  4. On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.
  5. Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.

Before we arrive

  • Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
  • Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
  • Give us your final numbers and allergies
