Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Bachelor's Bump
Is Bachelor's Bump close to London?
About 53 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What about events near the coast?
Yes. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Do you cater wrap parties?
We do. It is a great way to end a shoot.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
Can you work to the call sheet?
Yes. Tell us the lunch time and a contact on the day, and we will work around changes where we can.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac crew in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can you park at the unit base?
Yes, on level ground at base.
Step by step
The first sign we’ve arrived is usually the smell. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. Long summer days in Bachelor's Bump, with light until about 9:15pm, suit evening wraps outdoors.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Clear the route for the van
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

About the food
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Looking after everyone
Most events have a few crew with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Agree how the base is left
- Ensure we can reach locations on the day
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
Lunch is planned around the call sheet, with a contact for changes.
Bins at base keep the location clean.
Shooting in Bachelor's Bump: unit bases and access
Bachelor's Bump is about 3 miles east of Hastings, in East Sussex. Wherever your shoot is in the TN35 area, we can fry fresh for your crew. Bachelor's Bump is one of 289 towns and villages in East Sussex we cover. Our bookings stretch from Bachelor's Bump to Brighton (about 33 miles away).
Crew coming by rail can use the station: Three Oaks station is about 1.3 miles away. With the sea within about 3 miles, coastal shoots need a sheltered base, so plan where crew will queue.

Nearby, we also serve shoots in Guestling (1 mile north-east), Ore (1 mile south-west), Guestling Green (1 mile north-east), Friar's Hill (1 mile north-east) and Fairlight (1 mile east).

A chip van compared with other options
Takeaway rarely reaches a location hot. A van cooks at the unit base. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
Why book with us
- All the chip-shop extras
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- No kitchen needed
Take a look at our prices page or the cost guide.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
