The process
The first sign we’ve arrived is generally the smell. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. In Friar's Hill, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so summer evening events are typically served in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Bins and napkins near the hatch make life easier.
Somewhere to sit or lean makes fish and chips easier to eat.
Should I sort the food myself?
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 normally the easier option.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

Your questions about a fish and chip van in Friar's Hill
Can you serve after a service at St Laurence's 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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you serve near the sea around Friar's Hill?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, East Sussex included. See all areas.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Children normally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Is fish and chips enough as a meal?
Fish and chips is a meal in itself. Many hosts add their own desserts or cake.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Cold buffets are easy but forgettable, and nothing’s hot on a cool evening. A chip van cooks to order and serves hot. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your event is.
What you get with us
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up

Friar's Hill is within about 4 miles of the sea, and fish and chips always feels right near the sea. On windy days, we plan a sheltered side for the queue.
