What the van needs
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- The site’s agreement to a catering van

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a sandwich platter, fish and chips feels like a real thank-you. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

Take a look at our pricing and what a fish and chip van costs.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. In Rodmell, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:15pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- First, tell us about your staff event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Clear the route for the van
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
How to get a price
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, fill in our quote form.

What a fish and chip van costs
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Service time
- Whether a minimum applies
- Parking and the way in
- The date and time of year
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What we need to know
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Expected numbers
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A photo of the parking spot
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
For planners, venues and organisers
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Common questions in Rodmell
What about events near the coast?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Could you trade in Lewes and Laughton Levels?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Do you work around shifts?
Yes, with the shift pattern in advance. We will plan it with you.
