A chip van near Hollingrove
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

Common questions in Hollingrove
Which station is closest to Hollingrove?
Robertsbridge station, about 3.1 miles north-east of the centre.
Do you come 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.
What about crew who do not eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
What will the production need?
Tell us what the production needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac crew in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
How it works
We do not cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. On a winter shoot near Hollingrove, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:15pm.
- We start with a few details about your shoot.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for the crew.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
