Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
At a small fête, one good trader may be all you need, with cakes and teas alongside. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.

The process
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Your visitors can wander over to the hatch once service starts. At midsummer, events in West Blatchington stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your visitors.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
