What a fish and chip van costs

Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:

  • The day of the week
  • How easy the site is to reach
  • Whether a minimum applies
  • Numbers

The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.

Getting an accurate quote

To speed things up, tell us:

  • Rough numbers for adults and children
  • How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
  • Allergies and diets you know about
  • The venue or postcode

Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.

Planners, venues and businesses

Organising a club, school or community event in Burlow? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.

Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.

Step by step

We arrive on time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. In Burlow, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:15pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.

  1. You share your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check access for the van and quote.
  3. We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
  4. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
  5. Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.

How to prepare

  • Let us know who to talk to on the day
  • Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
  • Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

  • Confirmation that the van can park there
  • A level, firm spot the van can drive onto

Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. The van cooks on site. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

Why book our van in Burlow

  • No kitchen needed
  • Classic food your staff already know
  • We cover Burlow and the whole of East Sussex
  • A van that becomes part of the event

See how we price and our guide to van hire costs.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?

Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.

Why choose corporate fish and chip catering in Burlow?

It suits shift teams, because service can be planned in waves.

We can help if you’re planning any of the following:

  • Charity and fundraising days at work
  • A monthly Fish Friday
  • Leaving dos
  • Celebrating a big win

Nearby historic houses include Horselunges Manor (2.8 miles south) and Michelham Priory (4.5 miles south). Historic venues suit client days, but check their vehicle rules before planning a van.

Before booking anyone

  • The deadline for final numbers
  • Any minimum charge
  • The deposit and payment dates
  • Travel, tolls and road charges

What comes out of the fryer

Cod and chips

Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it is hot, crisp and generous.

Haddock and chips

Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
