A chip van near Down Street
Down Street: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Down Street?
Uckfield station, about 2.6 miles south-east of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Down Street?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you park in our car park or yard?
Frequently, with a level spot and the site’s agreement. Facilities will decide the spot.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before booking.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
What can staff choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Corporate fish and chip catering in Down Street, cooked to order
Food is fried to order, so it’s hot whether you’re first or last in the queue. On the menu are sausage and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for a monthly Fish Friday and shift teams at depots and warehouses.
For farms and rural sites near Down Street, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.

What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The number of meals
- How long we serve
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Cod, haddock or both
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
Details that help
These details help us quote quickly:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Where the event is
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Where you’d like the van to go
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a sandwich platter, a chip van feels like a proper treat. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
Why us?
- A clear quote before booking
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- Quick service from the hatch
- Classic food your staff already know
Read our prices page and the cost guide.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Ask facilities about access
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Send round an allergy question
A quick message to staff when the van opens helps.
Some teams make it a regular treat.
About the food
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
