About the food
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and children love it.
What affects the price in Pevensey Bay
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Any minimum charge
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Service time
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.
What to tell us
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Where the event is
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Your date and serving time
- Rough numbers for adults and children
Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: tell us the basics about your event, and we will firm it up nearer the time. Start when you are ready: send us your details through our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Common questions in Pevensey Bay
Can you serve near the sea around Pevensey Bay?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
We’re gathering after a service at St Wilfrid's Church Pevensey Bay: can you come?
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 usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
Do you cover Pevensey Bay?
Yes, we do. Pevensey Bay is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children usually love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
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 will plan service around it.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options before you book.
Planning the van’s spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.

How it works
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Guests typically gather round the hatch once service starts. Evening events need a little planning for light: around Pevensey Bay, it stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, 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.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
