Planning help
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.

Aldrington questions
Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
What about events near the coast?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What about staff who do not eat fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Brighton and Hove. See all areas.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for staff.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.

A barbecue needs someone to cook. With a van, everyone gets a break. There’s 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.
