Common questions in Hastings Old Town

Is Hastings Old Town close to London?

Roughly 53 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.

What about events near the coast?

Yes. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.

Do you cover Hastings Old Town?

Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Hastings Old Town and the rest of East Sussex. For a quote, use our quote form.

Do you do anything other than fish?

Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.

When do you arrive?

That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.

How much is fish and chip van hire?

It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your staff event and we will send a quote.

Do you clear up afterwards?

We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for staff.

What if the weather’s bad?

The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

Takeaway run or book a van?

For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.

Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.

For planners, venues and organisers

Organising a club, school or community event in Hastings Old Town? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.

Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

Office caterers bring cold buffets. A van serves hot food to order. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.

What you get with us

  • A quote that spells everything out
  • Quick service from the hatch
  • All the chip-shop extras
  • Cod, haddock, sausages and pies

See our pricing or the cost guide.

What a fish and chip van costs

The price comes down to a few factors:

  • Whether a minimum applies
  • How many people are eating
  • Access and parking
  • Service time

The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.

What we need to know

These details help us quote quickly:

  • The venue or postcode
  • Anything awkward about the way in
  • A picture of where the van would go
  • Where the van would park

It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will come back with a clear quote.

What happens on the day

If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace. After-work summer events in Hastings Old Town have daylight until about 9:15pm in late June and 7:00pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.

  1. Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
  2. Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
  3. A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
  4. We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
  5. Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

Getting ready for the day

  • Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
  • Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
  • Tell us when you want to eat

The menu, dish by dish

Gravy

A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.

Cod and chips

Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.

Planning for dietary needs

Most events have a few staff with dietary needs. To plan for them:

  • A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
  • Have a back-up for special diets
  • Tell us exactly when each group can eat
  • Find out what documents the site needs

Bins and napkins by the van make it easy.

Some teams make it a regular treat.

  • 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
