Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Parking and the way in
- Your choice of menu
- The date and time of year
- How far we travel
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.

To speed things up, tell us:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Any dietary needs and allergies

Step by step
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. A lunch-break van visit in South Malling is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Give us a contact for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
Ask for a quote
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and we will reply with a quote. Just fill in our quote form.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in South Malling
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Could you trade in Railway Land?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first.
Do you cover South Malling?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and South Malling is within our area and the rest of East Sussex. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including South Malling.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for staff are worth planning.
Do you work around shifts?
Give us the break times and we’ll serve in waves.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Flag any coeliac staff
Put bins near the hatch.
A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
About the food
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.
Sausage and chips

- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
