How we price a fish and chip van for your event

- How far we travel
- Parking and the way in
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.

Working with your venue

Hosting at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
How the day works
We don’t cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Summer events in Mountfield have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- We confirm the date, what we need on the pitch and any documents.
- We set up before the gates open.
- We cook fresh and serve through the day.
- At the end, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Make sure the van can get in
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

Questions from Mountfield
Which station is closest to Mountfield?
The closest is Robertsbridge station, roughly 2.3 miles away.
Can the van go to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
Can you cook in the rain?
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.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Agree who removes waste
- Tell us about any school or event allergy policies
- Settle the pitch terms early
- Plan something for visitors we cannot cater for
If we are feeding volunteers, agree a time that suits the schedule.
Plan vehicle access before visitors arrive.

Other occasions in Mountfield
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
