About our fish and chip van hire in Maresfield
Fish and chip van hire means the chip shop comes to you. We park up, heat the fryers and cook to order, so every portion goes out hot and crisp. We are frequently asked to cater summer garden parties and christmas parties, serving cod and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
In a rural place like Maresfield, fish and chips in a field feels just right. Let us know about access and ground conditions. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

A fish and chip van in Maresfield: local details
Maresfield is about 2 miles north of Uckfield, in East Sussex. For an event in Maresfield, we can park on a drive, a car park, a yard or firm, dry grass. We take the van to 289 places in East Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 15 miles away.
If you’re gathering after a service at a church like The Parish Church of St Bartholomew, a nearby hall car park or drive suits the van. Thinking of using West Park? Parks typically need the owner’s permission, frequently the council’s, before a catering van can park or trade. Maresfield is within about 8 miles of the High Weald National Landscape, and some venues there have rules about vehicles on site. Check your venue’s rules on catering vans.
We take the van to events all over TN22 and the streets around it. That could mean an event at a home on High Street, Robian Close and Batts Bridge Road, wherever the van can park. If your venue is just outside Maresfield, we also cover Budlett's Common (1 mile south-east), Down Street (1 mile west), Ridgewood (3 miles south), Little Horsted (3 miles south) and Newick (3 miles south-west). We also serve nearby towns such as Seaford (15 miles south), Lewes (9 miles south-west), Hailsham (12 miles south-east), Crowborough (5 miles north-east), Newhaven (14 miles south) and Peacehaven (14 miles south).
Other landmarks nearby include Tickerage Castle (3.4 miles south-east) and Uckfield Community Hospital (2.3 miles south-east). Within reach you’ll find Brickfield Meadow.
- Local schools include Uckfield College (1.8 miles south-east)
Before you choose a spot
If a spot isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Maresfield: your questions answered
Is Maresfield 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.
What’s the nearest station to Maresfield?
The closest is Uckfield station, roughly 2 miles away.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Do you come to Maresfield?
We do. Maresfield is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
How it works
There’s very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your event. The frying and serving are down to us. In Maresfield, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are normally served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Share the timings for the day
