Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Cold food stalls are fine on a hot day, but hot food brings people in on cooler days. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.

How the day works
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. For an evening event in Cocking Causeway, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.

- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
