Corporate fish and chip catering in Rye Harbour, fried fresh
A short menu keeps the queue moving through a lunch break: fish, sausages, pies and chips, with the classic sides. On the menu are sausage and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for team away days and a monthly Fish Friday.
Near Rye Harbour, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
Office caterers bring cold buffets. A van serves hot food to order. 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.

- Send allergies to us in writing

How it works
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. For an end-of-day event in Rye Harbour, summer gives you light until about 9:15pm; in late May it’s about 8:45pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- You tell us the date, the site, rough numbers and your break times.
- We check the site and send a price and any details facilities need.
- We arrange the van’s spot and arrival with the site.
- On the day we set up and fry to order through the agreed service time.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
Before we arrive
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
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.

Common questions in Rye Harbour
Is Rye Harbour too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you serve near the sea around Rye Harbour?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Can you come onto our site?
Normally, if there is a level spot and the site allows it. Facilities will decide the spot.
Do you work around shifts?
Tell us the shift and break times and we’ll plan service around them.
