For event organisers in Felcourt
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Wrap parties add up. A van makes a relaxed wrap. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.

How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Cod, haddock or both
- The date and time of year
- The minimum booking
- How many people are eating
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The address or venue name
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.
How it works
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Felcourt: sunset is about 3:55pm, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Clear the route for the van
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

Felcourt questions
Is Felcourt too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the van go to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for crew.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Where does the van go on location?
Yes, on level ground at base; we’ll check the route.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac crew when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
