Fish and chip van hire in Peasmarsh, fried fresh
We keep the menu to the classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. A short menu keeps the food fresh and the queue moving. We’re often asked to cater staff lunches and team days and christmas parties, serving mushy peas, curry sauce and cod and chips.
In a hamlet or village like Peasmarsh, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. 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.

For event organisers in Peasmarsh
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
The process
You’ll know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first guests wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. Light matters for evening service: in Peasmarsh, sunset is around 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Give us a contact for the day

Food your guests will love
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Space, access and the venue
If a spot isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and help find another. What matters most:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A short walk from the party
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Questions from Peasmarsh
Is Peasmarsh too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What about events near the coast?
Yes. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Can you feed plenty of people?
That depends on how many and how quickly. Staggering groups and keeping the menu short both help.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.

Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Have a back-up for anyone who cannot eat from the van
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
- Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
The fryers take a little while to heat, so we arrive well before service. If plans change, tell us and we will adjust.

Peasmarsh: venues, parking and local tips

Peasmarsh is one of 289 places in East Sussex we cover. Our bookings stretch from Peasmarsh to Canterbury (about 27 miles away).
Churches such as The Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul rarely have room for a van, but a hall or home close by typically does. PTAs at schools such as Peasmarsh Church of England Primary School often look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. Peasmarsh is within about 3 miles of the sea, so fish and chips feels right at home here. On windy days, we plan a sheltered side for the queue.

Local streets include Main Street, Farleys Way and The Maltings; an event on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park.
