What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Your choice of menu
- The number of meals
- The length of service
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Expected numbers
Still finalising the details? That’s fine: tell us the basics about your event, and we will quote on that. To start, use our quote form.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
What happens on the day
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace. Summer events in Coggins Mill have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day

Working with your venue
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Space, access and the venue
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Firm, level ground for the pitch
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that does not block walkways
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
Popular choices

Coggins Mill questions
What’s the nearest station to Coggins Mill?
The closest is Wadhurst station, roughly 3.6 miles away.
Is Coggins Mill too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for visitors.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac visitors in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, including East Sussex. See all areas.
Allergies and dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Plan crew and volunteer food times
- Agree who removes waste
- Share pitch details
- Give us an idea of numbers
Bins near the van help keep the site tidy.
Tables and seating nearby help families eat.
What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
