Planners, venues and businesses
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A cold buffet is simple, but food sits out, and nothing’s hot on a cool evening. A chip van cooks to order and serves hot. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
What you get with us
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy

Your questions about a fish and chip van in Fairwarp
Which station is closest to Fairwarp?
Buxted station, about 2.5 miles south-east of the centre.
Can you serve after a service at St John the Evangelist Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Fairwarp.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
About the food
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Plan bins near the queue
- Put allergy details in writing
- Arrange an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
The fryers take a little while to heat, so we get there in good time. If plans change, tell us and we will adjust.
A gazebo by the van keeps the queue dry.
