Before you choose a spot

A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:

  • A spot near your staff
  • A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
  • Flat, firm ground for the van

Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

From the hatch

Planners, venues and businesses

If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.

For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.

A chip van compared with other options

Compared with a sandwich platter, fish and chips feels like a real thank-you. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.

The menu, dish by dish

Cod and chips

Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.

Curry sauce

Curry sauce divides opinion and it’s on the menu.

Step by step

Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. Afterwards we pack up. Summer events after work in Upper Dicker have light until about 9:15pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:50pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.

  1. Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
  2. Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
  3. Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
  4. The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
  5. Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

Before we arrive

  • Get permission for the van from the venue
  • Ensure the van can get in
  • Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

What a fish and chip van costs

There is nothing hidden: the quote reflects:

  • How many people are eating
  • Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
  • Distance and any road charges
  • Parking and the way in

Larger groups generally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Details that help

The more we know about your staff event, the better we can plan. Try to include:

  • Roughly how many people, including children
  • A picture of the parking spot
  • The venue or postcode
  • Dietary needs, with numbers

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.

Questions from Upper Dicker

Do you come out to small places like Upper Dicker?

Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.

What’s the nearest station to Upper Dicker?

Berwick (Sussex) station, about 2.5 miles south-west of the centre.

Can you invoice the company?

Tell us what your finance team needs and we’ll explain.

How quickly can you serve everyone?

Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.

Can you serve children?

Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.

What if the weather’s bad?

We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.

How much space do you need?

A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.

Do you cover Upper Dicker?

We do. We serve events in Upper Dicker and across East Sussex. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.

Looking after everyone

  • Confirm allergies by email
  • Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
  • Ask facilities about access
  • Find out what documents the site needs

Plan the queue away from vehicle routes.

Tell the team in advance: it’s half the fun.
