Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Burger vans are common at events. A chip van gives visitors something different. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
Why Pevensey Bay hosts choose us
- A quote that spells everything out
- Rain does not stop the fryers
- No kitchen needed
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
Take a look at our pricing and our guide to van hire costs.
What happens on the day
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. At midsummer, events in Pevensey Bay stay light until about 9:15pm, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your visitors.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Make sure the van can get in
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch

If you are organising a summer fair or sports day for a school such as Pevensey and Westham CofE Primary School, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. A summer fête at St Wilfrid's Church Pevensey Bay is the classic setting for a fish and chip van. With the sea within about 5 miles, we plan shelter from the wind for coastal events.
Here we cover the BN24 postcode area. That could mean an event at a home on The Square, Sea Road and Marine Road, wherever the van can park. We also bring the van to events in Pevensey (1 mile north-west), Westham (2 miles west), Langney (2 miles south-west), Normans' Bay (2 miles north-east) and Jenkins' Green (2 miles west). Further out, we also take the van to Eastbourne (3 miles south-west), Hastings (10 miles north-east), Bexhill-on-Sea (6 miles north-east), Seaford (11 miles west), Hailsham (6 miles north-west) and St Leonards (9 miles east).

How we price a fish and chip van for your event
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Service time
- Whether a minimum applies
- Your choice of menu
- The date and time of year
Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The venue or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the van would park
Still finalising the details? That’s fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will firm it up nearer the time. Start when you’re ready: send us your details through our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Share pitch details
- Let us know about allergy rules on site
- Agree who removes waste
- Share last year’s numbers if you have them
We arrive before the gates open to set up on the pitch, at the agreed time.
A few benches near the van help.
