Fish and chip van hire for Isfield events
How our fish and chip van hire works in Isfield
Fish and chip van hire means the chip shop comes to you. The van parks up, the fryers go on and everything is cooked to order, so every portion goes out hot and crisp. For work Christmas parties and weddings and evening receptions, we can cook mushy peas, gravy and curry sauce.
For a rural spot like Isfield, the setting does plenty of the work. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Next to a hog roast, a fish and chip van gives people a choice of fish, sausage or pie, which helps if some guests don’t eat pork. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
Why book with us
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- A quote that spells everything out
- Events in Isfield and across East Sussex

Your questions about a fish and chip van in Isfield
We’re gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St Margaret: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
How far is Isfield from London?
About 39 miles from central London.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Is it a full meal?
Yes. A portion of fish, chips and peas is a proper meal.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Cod or haddock?
Let us know which you’d prefer and we will confirm what we can offer.
Can the van come to Isfield?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Isfield and across East Sussex. Send us your date to check availability.
Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.

- Ask about allergies on your invitation or sign-up form
- Mention any vegetarian or vegan guests
- Fewer choices mean faster service
- Give us separate numbers for children
Fish and chips is best eaten right away, so we fry to order as the queue moves.

Step by step
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we are hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. Around midsummer it stays light in Isfield until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are typically served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Parking and the way in
- Any minimum charge
- The length of service
- The menu and how many choices
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your event.
Details that help
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Where the van would park
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A photo of the parking spot
Send us the date, the address or TN22 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and we’ll reply with a quote. Just send us your details through our quote form.
