Steven's Crouch questions
Do you come 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.
Can the van park in Ashburnham Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before you book.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your visitors, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
What are the terms for events?
It depends on the event: a pitch fee, a share of takings or a guaranteed minimum. We will agree it in writing.
How big a pitch do you need?
A firm pitch with space for a queue. Tell us about power and water.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, including East Sussex. Find your area.
How we price a fish and chip van for your event
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The number of meals
- Service time
- Cod, haddock or both
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A picture of where the van would go
- Roughly how many people, including children
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and you’ll get a clear price. To get started, fill in our quote form.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Occasions we serve in Steven's Crouch

What your quote should include

What happens on the day
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Visitors typically gather round the hatch as soon as we open. Summer fêtes in Steven's Crouch have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late September the light goes at about 7:00pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
How to get a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.

What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and it’s a favourite with children.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that does not block walkways
- A wet-weather pitch on hard standing
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Popular choices
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
- Chips
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Curry sauce
For planners, venues and organisers
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Next to a volunteer barbecue, a chip van frees your helpers. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your event.
