For planners, venues and organisers
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Looking after everyone
Most events have a few visitors with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Tell us expected visitor numbers
- Agree how we will be paid: pitch fee, share of takings or minimum
- Ask traders for allergen information to display
- Plan something for visitors we can’t cater for
We set up before visitors arrive, at the agreed time.
A clear route for the van before the gates open avoids problems.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
FAQs for Pevensey
Do you trade at school fairs around Pevensey?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Do you come out to small places like Pevensey?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Can you come to a school event?
Yes, once the school agrees where the van goes. Send us the date and the spot.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
What can visitors choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.

How the day works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Your visitors can wander over to the hatch once service starts. Summer fêtes in Pevensey have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:15pm at midsummer, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:00pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the van can get in
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
Ask for a quote
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
