Your questions about a fish and chip van in Milton Street

We’re gathering after a service at St Mary and St Peter's Church: can you come?

Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.

How far is Milton Street from London?

About 49 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.

How long are you on site?

We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.

Do we need to provide equipment?

Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.

When should we book?

Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.

Do you come to Milton Street?

We do. We serve events in Milton Street and across East Sussex. Tell us your date and we will check availability.

Do you take everything away?

We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.

Do you need power or water?

A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.

Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Step by step

Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Evenings in Milton Street stay light until about 9:15pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the queue and the path to the van need good lighting.

  1. You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
  2. You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
  3. We arrive early, set up and get the fryers hot.
  4. We cook to order and serve hot at the time you chose.
  5. Afterwards, we clear up and head off.

Getting ready for the day

  • Ensure the van can get in
  • Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
  • Choose a level, firm spot for the van

  • Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
  • Whether a minimum applies
  • The number of meals
  • Distance and any road charges

If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is usually the best value.

  • Roughly how many people, including children
  • Anything awkward about the way in

Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.

Allergies and dietary needs

Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:

  • Have bins and napkins near the hatch
  • Put allergy details in writing
  • Add an allergy question to your invitations
  • Mention any vegetarian or vegan guests

On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We park, set up, fry and serve, and stay in touch about any changes.

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

What comes out of the fryer

Sausage and chips

Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and it is a favourite with children.

Gravy

Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.

Planning the van’s spot

No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours when you get in touch. In general, we need:

  • Access wide and high enough for the van
  • A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
  • Confirmation that the van can park there

Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
