How it works
You will know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Turners Hill: sunset is about 3:55pm, so lunch at base is frequently in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for the crew.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

Common questions in Turners Hill
What’s the nearest station to Turners Hill?
East Grinstead station, about 3.3 miles north-east of the centre.
Can the van go 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?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac crew in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do you cater wrap parties?
We do. A chip van suits a relaxed wrap party.
Can you park at the unit base?
Normally, if there’s level, firm ground. We’ll agree the spot with your location manager.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is typically simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Ordering takeaway to a location is unreliable. A van cooks at the unit base. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
Why us?
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- A quote that spells everything out
- No kitchen needed
