How our fish and chip van for events works in Peasmarsh
Country shows and field events suit a van, if the ground is firm enough for vehicles. Typical bookings include horse and dog shows and community open days, with haddock and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce.
Rural events near Peasmarsh can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so fish and chips goes down well. Timings are planned around your event, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

Event catering near Peasmarsh
Peasmarsh is about 9 miles north-east of Hastings, in East Sussex. Give us the address of your event in Peasmarsh, and we’ll plan the route and the parking spot before the day. Peasmarsh is one of 289 towns and villages in East Sussex we cover. Our bookings stretch from Peasmarsh to Canterbury (27 miles away).
A summer fête at The Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul is the classic setting for a fish and chip van. If you’re organising a summer fair or sports day for a school such as Peasmarsh Church of England Primary School, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. The coast is within about 3 miles of Peasmarsh, so for seaside events we plan a sheltered pitch, and fish and chips sells well by the sea.
Events anywhere in TN31 start with a parking spot for the van and a serving time. We can serve an event on streets such as Main Street, Farleys Way and The Maltings or the roads around them, wherever the van can park. Neighbouring places where we serve events include Flackley Ash (1 mile north-west), Beckley (2 miles north-west), Cock Marling (2 miles south), Udimore (3 miles south-west) and Broadland Row (3 miles south-west). Further out, we also take the van to Hastings (9 miles south-west), Bexhill-on-Sea (13 miles south-west), St Leonards (10 miles south-west), Hastings Old Town (9 miles south-west), Belmont (9 miles south-west) and Hollington (9 miles south-west).

Peasmarsh: your questions answered
Can you come to a school fair in Peasmarsh?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
How far is Peasmarsh from London?
About 50 miles from central London.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac visitors and we will explain the options before booking.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Can you feed our volunteers and crew?
Yes. Tell us how many and when, and we’ll quote.
What can visitors choose from?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- The number of meals
- Cod, haddock or both
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Parking and the way in
Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:

Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Agree how we will be paid: pitch fee, share of takings or minimum
- Tell us about the pitch
- Offer a choice of traders where you can
- Plan bins near food stalls
At the end, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
Put the van near the entrance or the tea tent.

A chip van compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue run by volunteers, a van means volunteers can enjoy the day. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
