The van is self-sufficient on the pitch, so we need little help from busy volunteers. For fundraisers and village fêtes and summer fairs, we can cook sausage and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce and more.
At a field event near Camber, power and water may be limited; tell us what’s available and we will plan around it. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what we can do.

Working with your venue
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
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.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Tell us expected visitor numbers
- Make sure allergen information is available
- Settle the pitch terms early
- Agree who removes waste
Put bins near the queue.
Pre-selling meal tickets helps us plan.
A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Camber
Is Camber close to London?
Roughly 55 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Camber?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Can you come to a school event?
We do. We’ll need a safe route onto the site away from children.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
What can visitors choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
