The process
There is very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your shoot. The frying and serving are down to us. In December, daylight in Salehurst ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:15pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for the crew.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Keep space clear for crew at the hatch
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

What else we do in Salehurst
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and children love it.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.
A chip van compared with other options
For a crew treat, a chip van is hard to beat in Salehurst. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Why book our van in Salehurst
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- Quick service from the hatch
- We cover Salehurst and the whole of East Sussex

What’s the nearest station to Salehurst?

Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
What if the weather’s bad?

Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Plan bins and waste at base
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
- Flag any coeliac crew
- Have a back-up for special diets
We take our used oil and waste with us.
Bins at base keep the location clean.

- Room for the crew to queue
- Lighting for early or late service
- Level, firm ground at base
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
