Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:

- Agree how the base is left
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details

Bins at base keep the location clean.
Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A clear route to base
- Far enough from set to keep noise down
- A level, firm spot at the unit base
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
There’s nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- Numbers
- Cod, haddock or both
- Any minimum charge
- Service time
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- A picture of the parking spot
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The venue or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For a crew treat, a chip van is hard to beat. 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 will quote.
Why book with us
- Classic food your crew already know
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- We cover Stonegate and the whole of East Sussex
- Served hot, straight from the hatch

Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
About the food
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Step by step
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Crew will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Stonegate: sunset is about 3:55pm.
- First, tell us about your shoot.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for the crew.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive

- Give us a contact for the day
- Let us know the serving time
