- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- 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.

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Numbers
- How long we serve
- Any minimum charge
- Parking and the way in
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your staff event.
What to tell us
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Your date and serving time
- The venue or postcode
- A photo of the parking spot
- Dietary needs, with 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, send us your details through our quote form.
FAQs for Herstmonceux
Is Herstmonceux close to London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
How does payment work for businesses?
We will talk you through booking and payment.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for staff.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Have a back-up for special diets
Send a message round when the van opens, and stagger departments if you can.
Tell the team in advance: it’s half the fun.
