The process

The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. A lunch-break van visit in Shoreham-by-Sea is always in daylight, but evening events need lights from about 3:55pm in December or 7:05pm in late September.

  1. You share your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check access for the van and quote.
  3. We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
  4. Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
  5. Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.

Getting ready for the day

  • Make sure the van can get in
  • Name one person we can call on the day
  • Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Getting a price

Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and children love it.

For planners, venues and organisers

For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.

Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?

You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
