Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Rushlake Green
Is Rushlake Green too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
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 will work to whatever the site needs.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
What will the production need?
Tell us what the production needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can you work to the call sheet?
We expect changes. Keep us updated and we’ll adapt.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is generally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
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.
Working with your venue

For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
