Perfect for your event in Pell Green
It’s ideal for relaxed, sociable occasions, where people can wander up when they’re ready.
The van suits big events and small ones. Typical bookings include:
- Birthday celebrations
- Wakes and gatherings after a funeral
- Visits to care homes and day centres
- Evening wedding food
Churches such as Rehoboth Chapel rarely have room for a van, but a hall or home close by generally does.
What your quote should include
- How long service runs, and what happens if you overrun
- What the van needs: space, access, power
- The cancellation terms
- Payment terms and deposit
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
How it works
You do not need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your event. The frying and serving are down to us. Late September evenings in Pell Green lose the light at about 7:00pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the queue.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Clear the route for the van

Your questions about a fish and chip van in Pell Green
Which station is closest to Pell Green?
Wadhurst station, about 1.5 miles west of the centre.
Can you serve after a service at Rehoboth Chapel?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you cover Pell Green?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Pell Green and the rest of East Sussex. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
What is fish and chip van hire?
We bring the van to your event, set up, heat the fryers and cook to order, serving from the hatch at the time you choose.
Can fish and chips be the only food?
Fish and chips is a meal in itself. You can add your own desserts if you like.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can you feed a lot of people?
It depends on numbers and timings. A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving.
For planners, venues and organisers
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.
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’s crisp when it reaches you.
Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
Once everyone is fed, we pack up, quietly and quickly.
Tell people when the van opens, so they do not miss out.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Cold buffets are easy but forgettable, and there’s nothing warming on a chilly day. A chip van cooks to order and serves hot. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.
