Planning an event in Hardham?
The process
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. After-work summer events in Hardham 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.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Share the timings for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Hardham
Do you come out to small places like Hardham?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Hardham close to London?
Roughly 42 miles from the centre of London.
Can you serve each shift?
Yes, with the shift pattern in advance. We’ll plan it with you.
What can staff choose from?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Can you invoice the company?
We will explain how it works when we quote.
Is grass a problem?
Usually, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you have documents for our site?
Sites vary, so send us the list and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Can the van come to Hardham?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Hardham is within our area and the rest of West Sussex. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
We arrive before your break to park and heat the fryers, so service starts on time.
Tell the team in advance: it is half the fun.
Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Planning the van’s spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
