The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.

Halland: venues, parking and local tips
Halland is about 3 miles south-east of Uckfield, in East Sussex. Events in Halland are planned around your venue and timings: a clear quote, an agreed spot for the van and food fried fresh on the day. We take the van to 289 places across East Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Halland to Brighton (about 13 miles away).
Within reach of Halland are historic houses such as Glyndebourne (4.8 miles south-west). Historic venues often limit vehicles, so ask early if you’re booking one. If you are gathering after a service at a church like Halland Mission Hall, a nearby hall car park or drive suits the van. The South Downs National Park is within about 7 miles of Halland, and some venues there have rules about vehicles on site. Ask your venue about vehicle access.
We take the van to events all over BN8 and the streets around it. From Eastbourne Road, Old Heath Close and Old Hartfield Mews or a nearby road, we can park up and fry there. Nearby, we also serve events in East Hoathly (1 mile east), Shortgate (1 mile south-west), Whitesmith (2 miles south-east), Framfield (2 miles north) and Blackboys (3 miles north-east). Further out, we also take the van to Eastbourne (12 miles south-east), Seaford (11 miles south), Lewes (7 miles south-west), Hailsham (7 miles south-east), Crowborough (8 miles north) and Newhaven (10 miles south).
Other landmarks nearby include Tickerage Castle (2.8 miles north) and Museum of Agricultural Bygones (3.1 miles south-west). Within reach you will find Selwyns Wood.
How it works
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your event. Evenings in Halland stay light until about 9:15pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the queue and the path to the van need good lighting.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Have a level parking spot ready

Planning help
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Questions from Halland
Is Halland too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
How we price a fish and chip van
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Service time
- Access and parking
- The number of meals
- The day of the week
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- A photo of the space and the way in
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Rough numbers for adults and children
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.

Other occasions in Halland
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Compared with a hog roast, a fish and chip van gives people a choice of fish, sausage or pie, which helps if some guests do not eat pork. 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.
