Fish and chip van hire in Ringmer
About our fish and chip van hire in Ringmer
Because the cooking is in the van, the weather does not stop us. It’s a dependable choice for events in any season. Whether it’s care home visits and milestone birthday parties, we can cook haddock and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips for your guests.
In a smaller place like Ringmer, a garden party with the van on the drive is frequently the simplest option: no venue hire, and nobody stuck cooking. Let us know how the van reaches the house. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Space, access and the venue
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A spot near your guests
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Access wide and high enough for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

For event organisers in Ringmer
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Ringmer? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
How the day 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. Evening events need a little planning for light: in Ringmer, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Ask about allergies on your invitation or sign-up form
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
- Put bins and napkins by the van
- Give us separate numbers for children
You shouldn’t have to worry about the food on the day. We park, set up, fry and serve, and keep in touch with you about timings.

Common questions in Ringmer
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can you serve after a service at The Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you cover Ringmer?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Ringmer. To check your date, use our quote form.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Which fish do you use?
We serve cod and haddock; we will agree the choice when we quote.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
A plated meal needs a kitchen, more staff and generally costs more per head. A van needs only a level spot and permission to park, and the food is cooked to order. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
