Planners, venues and businesses
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in East Preston? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Ask facilities about access
- Collect allergies in advance
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
- Send allergies to us in writing
Keep the queue clear of fire exits and traffic.
Tell the team in advance: it is half the fun.
How it works
The van turns up at the agreed 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. After-work summer events in East Preston have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in East Preston
Can you serve near the sea around East Preston?
Yes. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
What’s the nearest station to East Preston?
The closest is Angmering station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Can you come onto our site?
Your facilities team decides, but car parks and yards typically work well.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
How we price a fish and chip van for your team
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How many people are eating
- The minimum booking
- The length of service
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- A picture of the parking spot
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Expected numbers
- Dietary needs, with numbers
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, use our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
