Fresh fish and chips in Isfield

Corporate fish and chip catering in Isfield, fried fresh

A short menu keeps the queue moving through a lunch break: the classics, done properly. We serve cod and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for fish Friday treats and summer team days.

Rural businesses around Isfield can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

The process

The first sign we’ve arrived is typically the smell, about the time the first staff wander across. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. For an end-of-day event in Isfield, summer gives you light until about 9:15pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:50pm.

  1. Send us the date, site, headcount and break times.
  2. We check access and send a quote, with anything your site needs from us.
  3. Parking and arrival are agreed with your facilities team.
  4. We serve hot from the hatch through your break or shifts.
  5. Afterwards, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.

Preparing for the day

  • Clear the route for the van
  • Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
  • Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

A fish and chip van or other catering?

A meal out takes everyone off site. A van comes to you. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.

Why book with us

  • Bookings across East Sussex, including Isfield
  • Rain does not stop the fryers
  • The queue at the hatch gets people talking
  • A menu almost everyone likes

See our prices page and what a fish and chip van costs.

How we price a fish and chip van for your team

The price comes down to a few factors:

  • The day of the week
  • Access and parking
  • The number of meals
  • How long we serve

Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

What we need to know

When you contact us, it helps to tell us:

  • The venue or postcode
  • Allergies and diets you know about
  • The spot you have in mind for the van
  • The date and when you’d like to eat

Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll check availability right away.

Should I sort the food myself?

DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

Looking after everyone

Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:

  • Confirm allergies by email
  • Have a back-up for special diets
  • Check with facilities where the van can park
  • Collect allergies in advance

Put bins near the hatch.

Some teams make it a regular treat.

For event organisers in Isfield

For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.

For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

Choosing a fish and chip van

About the food

Cod and chips

Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.

Haddock and chips

Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.

Isfield questions

Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?

Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.

Which station is closest to Isfield?

Uckfield station, about 2.7 miles north-east of the centre.

Do you serve visitors at events?

We do. Visitors love it.

Is there a non-fish option?

Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.

Do you bring everything you need?

Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.

Do you clear up afterwards?

We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.

What does the van need?

Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your staff, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.

We take the van across London and the South East, East Sussex included. Find your area.
