What affects the price in Isfield
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The length of service
- Access and parking
- Your choice of menu
- How many people are eating
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A picture of the parking spot
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Anything awkward about the way in
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can fill in our quote form.
How our fish and chip van for events works in Isfield
When there’s hot food, people stay longer, which is good for every other stall. We serve chips, haddock and chips and curry sauce, and typical bookings are for church fêtes and fish and chip suppers and community festivals.
Near Isfield, events may be far from shops and cafés, so fish and chips goes down well. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger visitors and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

Isfield questions
Which station is closest to Isfield?
Uckfield station, about 2.7 miles north-east of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Isfield?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
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 confirm the rest.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.
Can you come to a school event?
Yes. We’ll need a safe route onto the site away from children.
What can visitors choose from?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
