How we price a fish and chip van for your team
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How far we travel
- The day of the week
- The menu and how many choices
- The minimum booking
The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Getting an accurate quote
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Where the event is
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The date and time of the event
- Expected numbers
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, use our quote form.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is 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’s crisp.
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
With a barbecue, somebody ends up at the grill. With a van, everyone gets a break. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Why book with us
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- A clear quote before booking
- Bookings across East Sussex, including Friar's Hill
- Everything cooked to order at your event
Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Confirm allergies by email
Bins and napkins by the van make it easy.
Some teams make it a regular treat.
Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
How it works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. For a staff lunch in Friar's Hill, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:15pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Share the timings for the day
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Friar's Hill
Can you serve near the sea around Friar's Hill?
Yes. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
What’s the nearest station to Friar's Hill?
The closest is Three Oaks station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for staff are worth planning.
Can you cook in the rain?
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.
Can the van park on grass?
Normally, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
How much does a fish and chip van for your team cost in Friar's Hill?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.
