Before you choose a spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.

How we price a fish and chip van for your team
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Access and parking
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Whether a minimum applies
- Cod, haddock or both
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Where the event is
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Where the van would park
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.

South Heighton: your questions answered
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Is South Heighton close to London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London.
Can you serve each shift?
Give us the break times and we’ll serve in waves.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
Do you come to South Heighton?
We do. We serve events in South Heighton and across East Sussex. Send us your date to check availability.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Give us break and shift times
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Confirm allergies by email
Put bins near the hatch.
Some teams make it a regular treat.

How the day works
We do not cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. In South Heighton, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:15pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- Send us the date, site, headcount and break times.
- You get a quote and answers to facilities’ questions.
- We agree where the van parks and when it arrives with you or facilities.
- 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
- Share the timings for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
