Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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.
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.

Planning the van’s spot
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Clear of the shot and sound
- A clear route to base
- The location’s agreement
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
What we serve
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
- Crew lunches
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
Looking after everyone
Most events have a few crew with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Give us a map or what3words for base
- Ensure we can reach locations on the day
- Confirm allergies by email
We set up at the unit base ahead of lunch.
A quick pre-order speeds things up.
How the day works
We do not cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Telham: sunset is about 3:55pm, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Tell us when you want to eat

Telham: your questions answered
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Which station is closest to Telham?
The closest is Battle station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your shoot and we’ll send a quote.
Do you cater wrap parties?
Yes. A chip van suits a relaxed wrap party.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Can the van park on grass?
Usually, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can you adjust to schedule changes?
We can. Tell us the lunch time and a contact on the day, and we’ll work around changes where we can.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Telham?
For a crew treat, a chip van is hard to beat. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
What you get with us
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
