For planners, venues and organisers
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.

What else we do in Seaton
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Your date and serving time
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. You can fill in our quote form.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Flag any coeliac staff
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Share the shift pattern
- Collect allergies in advance
We arrive before your break to park and heat the fryers, so we are ready when the first group comes out.
A simple pre-order helps us plan.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Seaton
Which station is closest to Seaton?
Bekesbourne station, about 2.8 miles south-west of the centre.
Is Seaton close to London?
Roughly 57 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can we pay by invoice?
We will explain how it works when we quote.
Can you park in our car park or yard?
Typically, if there’s a level spot and the site allows it. We will agree the exact spot with you or facilities.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for staff.
Is grass a problem?
Normally, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.

- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
