Lower Dicker questions
How far is Lower Dicker from London?
Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac staff in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Can you come onto our site?
Your facilities team decides, but a car park or yard is usually ideal.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.

How we price a fish and chip van for your team
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Your choice of menu
- How many people are eating
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How long we serve
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
Details that help
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The venue or postcode
- Dietary needs, with numbers
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will come back with a clear quote.
Looking after everyone
Most events have a few staff with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Send round an allergy question
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
We arrive before your break to park and heat the fryers, so we’re ready when the first group comes out.
A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.

What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.

Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
A barbecue needs someone to cook. With a van, everyone gets a break. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A short walk from the party
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
