Fish and chip van hire in Nutley, fried fresh
A fish and chip van works almost anywhere the van can park: a driveway, a car park, a yard or a firm field. We serve curry sauce, gravy and pie and chips, and we are often booked for wakes and celebrations of life and Fêtes, fairs and school events.
For a rural spot like Nutley, the setting does plenty of the work. Let us know about access and ground conditions. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Hosting at home? Send us a picture of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.

What happens on the day
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. Late September evenings in Nutley lose the light at about 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the queue.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Tell us when you want to eat

Nutley questions
Do you come to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Which station is closest to Nutley?
Buxted station, about 4.3 miles south-east of the centre.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
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.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
What the van needs
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Flat, firm ground for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Plated meals need a kitchen and a bigger team. A van needs only a level spot and permission to park, and the food is cooked to order. Larger groups usually cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
