A chip van near Hollington
Fish and chip van hire in Hollington, fried fresh
Fish and chips is generous food: crisp batter, flaky fish and plenty of chips. It turns a meal into an occasion. On the menu are gravy, pie and chips and sausage and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater garden parties and summer get-togethers and big birthdays.
In a smaller place like Hollington, a garden party with the van on the drive is often the simplest option: no hire fees, and fish and chips for everyone without anyone stuck in the kitchen. Let us know how the van reaches the house. 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.

How it works
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. Evening events need a little planning for light: around Hollington, it stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Working with your venue

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
What affects the price in Hollington
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How many people are eating
- Parking and the way in
- Your choice of menu
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.

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 a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a hog roast, a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies rather than one dish, which suits guests who don’t eat pork. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.
What you get with us
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Something for guests to gather round
- Fried fresh, not kept warm

Hollington: your questions answered
Can you serve near the sea around Hollington?
Yes, of course. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Can the van park in Old Roar Gill and Coronation Wood?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Is fish and chips enough as a meal?
It is a full meal on its own. Many hosts add their own desserts or cake.
Can the van come to Hollington?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Hollington and across East Sussex. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
