Fish and chip van hire for Pevensey events
Fish and chip van hire for your event in Pevensey
There’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. All it needs is a level spot it can reach, which suits drives, yards, car parks and firm lawns. Whether it’s weddings and evening receptions and birthday celebrations, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas and more.
In a hamlet or village like Pevensey, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do before you book.

- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and access and send a clear quote.
- We arrive early, set up and get the fryers hot.
- We cook to order and serve hot at the time you chose.
- Afterwards, we clear up and head off.

No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.

Pevensey has its own station: Pevensey Bay station.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.

It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.

Let us know which you’d prefer and we will confirm what we can offer.
Is the food cooked at the event?

Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
