Within reach of Oxley's Green are historic houses such as Bateman's (1.9 miles north-west). Estates like these tend to have strict rules for vans, so check before booking.

Fish and chip van hire in Oxley's Green, fried fresh

In a hamlet or village like Oxley's Green, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Common questions in Oxley's Green
How far is Oxley's Green from London?
Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you serve after a service at The Parish Church of St Thomas A Becket?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
How does fish and chip van hire work?
The van parks at your venue, we fry fresh and serve from the hatch.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Can fish and chips be the only food?
It can be. A portion of fish, chips and peas is a proper meal, and you can add your own cake or desserts.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Planners, venues and businesses
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Organising a club, school or community event in Oxley's Green? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.
How we price a fish and chip van
These are the factors that matter most:
- How easy the site is to reach
- The number of meals
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Any minimum charge
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
What we need to know
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Where the event is
- A picture of where the van would go
- Allergies and diets you know about
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
Food your guests will love
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there is pie and chips.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
A fish and chip van or other catering?

- Classic food your guests already know
- Bookings across East Sussex, including Oxley's Green

See our prices page and the cost guide.
The process
You’ll know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first guests wander across. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. In Oxley's Green, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm 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.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Put bins and napkins by the van
- Ask about allergies on your invitation or sign-up form
The fryers take a little while to heat, so we arrive well before service. If timings shift, we adapt.
Tell people when the van opens, so they do not miss out.
Planning the van’s spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Lighting nearby for evening events
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
