Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Consider a pre-order list
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Find out what documents the site needs
When service is finished, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
A sign in reception or a team message builds the excitement.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A barbecue needs someone to cook. With a van, everyone gets a break. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
Why us?
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- Bookings across East Sussex, including Horney Common
- A clear quote before booking
- All the chip-shop extras
Read our prices page or the cost guide.
The process
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Lunchtime staff treats in Horney Common are in daylight all year round, but evening events need lights from about 3:55pm in December or 7:05pm in late September.
- First, tell us about your staff event.
- 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.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
Getting a price
Still finalising the details? That is fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll quote on that. To start, send us your details through our quote form.

How we price a fish and chip van for your team
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The number of meals
- Cod, haddock or both
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The length of service
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- A picture of where the van would go
- Expected numbers
- Where the van would park
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and you will get a clear price. Just use our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
