Questions from Albourne Street
What’s the nearest station to Albourne Street?
Hassocks station, about 2.5 miles east of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Albourne Street?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Children usually love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, West Sussex included. Find your area.
Which fish do you use?
Tell us your preference when you book and we will confirm what we can offer.
Fish and chip van hire in Albourne Street, fried fresh
Queuing at the hatch is half the experience. People chat, the smell drifts across, and the food arrives hot. We’re often asked to cater staff lunches and team days and summer garden parties, with pie and chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips.
In a hamlet or village like Albourne Street, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
How the day works
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Planning an evening event in Albourne Street? Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; after dark, the queue and the path to the van need good lighting.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Give us a contact for the day
- Clear the route for the van

Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
- A short menu helps everyone
- Ask about allergies on your invitation or sign-up form
It helps to have bins and napkins by the van for everyone.
A chalkboard by the hatch with the menu keeps the queue moving.
For event organisers in Albourne Street
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Hosting at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Access and parking
- The day of the week
- The length of service
- Numbers
Larger groups typically cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- The venue or postcode
- A picture of where the van would go
- Any dietary needs and allergies
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A photo of the spot helps too. When you are 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. 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.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
