Fresh fish and chips in Udimore
Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.

Questions from Udimore
Is Udimore close to London?
About 50 miles from central London.
What about events near the coast?
Yes. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Do you do crew food?
Yes. Give us numbers and a time.
Can the van come to Udimore?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Udimore and across East Sussex. Send us your date to check availability.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac visitors when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
At larger events, a van adds to the mix and spreads the queues. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.

How we price a fish and chip van for your event
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- The minimum booking
- Cod, haddock or both
- The length of service
- How far we travel
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
Details that help
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Where the van would park
- The address or venue name
- Expected numbers
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
The process
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. Evening events in Udimore have light until about 9:15pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
