Allergies and dietary needs

We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:

  • Share the shift pattern
  • Check with facilities where the van can park
  • Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
  • Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for

Put bins near the hatch.

Make it a regular thing: monthly or quarterly.

About our corporate fish and chip catering in Seaford

We park in your car park, yard or forecourt, so nobody has to leave site. For retirement send-offs and customer days, we’ll put together a menu of pie and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips for your guests.

For businesses in Seaford, a Friday lunch in the car park is an easy win, if the site agrees. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

15 questions to ask before you book

Should I sort the food myself?

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.

Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

What happens on the day

We work to your timings. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. For a staff lunch in Seaford, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:15pm.

  1. We start with a few details about your staff event.
  2. You get an availability check and a clear quote.
  3. Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
  4. On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.
  5. Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.

How to prepare

  • Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
  • Give us a contact for the day
  • Have a level parking spot ready

Seaford questions

Can the van park in Seaford Head Nature Reserve?

Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.

What’s the nearest station to Seaford?

Seaford station, about 0.5 miles south-west of the centre.

Is the fish gluten-free?

No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we will explain the options.

How does payment work for businesses?

We’ll talk you through booking and payment.

Do you come to Seaford?

We do. Seaford is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.

What does it cost to hire the van?

Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.

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 long does set-up take?

We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.

What a fish and chip van costs

There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:

  • Travel, tolls and road charges
  • How easy the site is to reach
  • The minimum booking
  • The number of meals

There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.

What to tell us

To check availability and price, we need:

  • A picture of the parking spot
  • The spot you have in mind for the van
  • Allergies and diets you know about
  • The address or venue name

It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.

A closer look at the menu

Cod and chips

Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order.

Mushy peas

Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
  • Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
  • The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
  • Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
