Why choose a fish and chip van in Reculver?
Office caterers bring cold buffets. A chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

The process
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss. In Reculver, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:15pm; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

What a fish and chip van costs
We’ll give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- Access and parking
- The day of the week
- How long we serve
- How many people are eating
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- A photo of the parking spot
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The date and when you’d like to eat
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.

Reculver questions
Can you serve near the sea around Reculver?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Do you come out to small places like Reculver?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Do you serve visitors at events?
We do. A chip van gives visitors something to queue for and talk about.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Staff will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Can the van come to Reculver?
We do. Reculver is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
- Ask facilities about access
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
When service is finished, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.
