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 helps if some guests don’t eat pork. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.

Step by step
Your timings come first. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Light matters for evening service: in Kent Street, sunset is around 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.

- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.

Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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 solves that by cooking on site.
About the food
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and children love it.

Every site is different, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:

Questions from Kent Street
Is Kent Street too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What’s the nearest station to Kent Street?
Battle station, about 2.2 miles west of the centre.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
Is grass a problem?
Usually, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Is a chip van good for a large crowd?
It can be. Give us your numbers and service time, and we will plan it with you.
