Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Planners, venues and businesses
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Camber? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Confirm numbers the day before
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Agree the waste plan with locations
- Let us know about coeliac disease
Tell us if supporting artists are eating.
Pre-orders from the crew help on tight breaks.
Step by step
We don’t cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Long summer days in Camber, with light until about 9:15pm, suit evening wraps outdoors, while by late September it’s nearer 7:00pm.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Share the timings for the day

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a sandwich lunch, a chip van gives the crew a proper hot meal. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your shoot.

Camber questions
Which station is closest to Camber?
Rye station, about 2.9 miles north-west of the centre.
What about events near the coast?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
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 Camber.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
