DIY versus a fish and chip 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.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Jevington
What’s the nearest station to Jevington?
Polegate station, about 2.3 miles north-east of the centre.
Can you serve near the sea around Jevington?
Yes. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
What are the terms for events?
We’ll talk it through when you send the details, and we’ll find something that works.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Visitors will appreciate cover near the hatch.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
What about visitors who don’t eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Working with your venue
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Offer a choice of traders where you can
- Let us know about allergy rules on site
- Display allergens for each stall
- Plan crew and volunteer food times
Plan where the queue forms.
Plan vehicle access before visitors arrive.
The process
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. Summer events in Jevington have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. 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 early to park and heat the fryers.
- 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
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Let us know the serving time
- Get permission for the van from the venue
