What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A picture of the parking spot
- Expected numbers
Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will quote on that. To start, fill in our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- Give us break and shift times
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Ask facilities about access
We arrive before your break to park and heat the fryers, so service starts on time.
A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.
Space, access and the venue
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Popular choices
- Cod and chips
- Pie and chips
- Staff lunches
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and get on with frying and serving.

- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Hamsey
Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Hamsey too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your staff, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
Can we pay by invoice?
We’ll talk you through booking and payment for businesses.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
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.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
- 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
