Gravy

A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.

Haddock and chips

Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.

Working with your venue

Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.

If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.

Step by step

We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your staff can wander over to the hatch once service starts. In St Leonards, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:15pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.

  1. First, the plan: what, where and what time.
  2. You hear back on the date and the price.
  3. We agree exactly where the van parks.
  4. Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
  5. The pitch is left tidy when we go.

Before we arrive

  • Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
  • Make sure the van can get in
  • Choose a level, firm spot for the van

What affects the price in St Leonards

These are the factors that matter most:

  • How many people are eating
  • Any minimum charge
  • Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
  • Your choice of menu

Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your staff event.

St Leonards questions

Can the van park in Summerfields Wood?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first.

Which station is closest to St Leonards?

St Leonards has its own station: St Leonards Warrior Square station.

Can you cater for allergies?

Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.

Can you feed staff across different shifts?

Give us the break times and we’ll serve in waves.

What if the weather’s bad?

We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.

Is the food cooked at the event?

Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.

What about staff who do not eat fish?

We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.

What can staff choose from?

Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.

A chip van compared with other options

For a thank-you that lands, a fish and chip van is a great choice. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.

What you get with us

  • Served hot, straight from the hatch
  • All the chip-shop extras
  • We cover St Leonards and the whole of East Sussex
  • A quote that spells everything out

See our prices page and what a fish and chip van costs.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?

For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.

Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
