Fish and chip van hire for Lions Green events

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. The van cooks right there, so the batter is still crisp. Larger groups generally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Why book our van in Lions Green

Quick service from the hatch
Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
Fried fresh, not kept warm

Fish and chip van hire in Lions Green, fried fresh

Few meals are as universally loved as fish and chips. It is why a chip van suits so many occasions in Lions Green. Whether it’s garden parties and summer get-togethers and visits to care homes and day centres, we’ll put together a menu of sausage and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips and more.

Somewhere as small as Lions Green, a field, yard or drive is frequently the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives and we will plan for them, and firm ground matters more than anything. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

A closer look at the menu

Mushy peas

No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.

Curry sauce

Curry sauce divides opinion and it is on the menu.

What affects the price in Lions Green

Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:

Your choice of menu
Distance and any road charges
Parking and the way in
The minimum booking

Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your event.

Getting an accurate quote

To speed things up, tell us:

The date and time of the event
Where the event is
Where you’d like the van to go
How to get in: gates, lanes and ground

It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.

Diets, allergies and planning

We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:

Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
Give us separate numbers for children
Put bins and napkins by the van
Have a back-up for anyone who can’t eat from the van

On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We arrive in good time, set up, cook and serve, and keep in touch with you about timings.

Somewhere to sit or lean makes fish and chips easier to eat.

Before you choose a spot

Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:

Confirmation that the van can park there
A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
Space for people to queue at the hatch

If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Lions Green questions

Can the van go to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?

Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.

Can you serve after a service at The Parish Church of All Saints?

Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.

What happens when we hire the van?

The van comes to you, cook fresh on site, and serve at the time you want.

How much does a fish and chip van cost in Lions Green?

It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.

Where can the van park?

Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.

Do you have allergen information?

Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.

What food do you serve?

Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.

What areas do you cover?

London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Lions Green.

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. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.

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 usually the easier option.

Lions Green: venues, parking and local tips

We take the van to all 289 towns and villages in East Sussex. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 17 miles away.

Nearby historic houses include Horselunges Manor (4 miles south). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on vehicles and caterers early. Lions Green is within about 6 miles of the High Weald National Landscape. Check your venue’s rules on catering vans.

The process

The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. In Lions Green, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.

You share your date, numbers and address.
We check the route in and send a price.
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.

Before we arrive
