For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
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. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
How it works
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. In Winchelsea Beach, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:15pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
How to prepare
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Share the timings for the day

Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Consider a pre-order list
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
For shift teams, we serve in waves, as agreed in advance.
A sign in reception or a team message builds the excitement.
Planning the van’s spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A short walk from the party
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Confirmation that the van can park there
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

About the food
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Winchelsea Beach questions
How far is Winchelsea Beach from London?
Roughly 54 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you serve near the sea around Winchelsea Beach?

Yes, it is a great draw. Send us the timings and numbers.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Staff will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Children usually love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, East Sussex included. See all areas.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
Can you park in our car park or yard?
Often, with a level spot and the site’s agreement. We will agree the exact spot with you or facilities.
