Corporate fish and chip catering in Broad Oak
The process
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. For a staff lunch in Broad Oak, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:15pm.
- You tell us the date, the site, rough numbers and your break times.
- We check the site and send a price and any details facilities need.
- We arrange the van’s spot and arrival with the site.
- We serve hot from the hatch through your break or shifts.
- We clear up and leave the site as we found it.
How to prepare
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Let us know the serving time
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Common questions in Broad Oak
Is Broad Oak too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Which station is closest to Broad Oak?
The closest is Stonegate station, roughly 4.5 miles away.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Can the van come to Broad Oak?
We do. We serve events in Broad Oak and across East Sussex. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your staff, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Where will the van go on our site?
That’s up to your site, but car parks and yards normally work well.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Broad Oak?
A barbecue needs someone to cook. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
Why Broad Oak hosts choose us
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- A clear quote before booking
- No kitchen needed

Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Ask facilities about access
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
A quick message to staff when the van opens helps, and stagger departments if you can.
A simple pre-order helps us plan.
