Fish and chip van hire in Russell's Green, cooked to order
A fish and chip van works almost anywhere the van can park: a driveway, a car park, a yard or a firm field. Whether it is big birthdays and weddings and evening receptions, we’ll put together a menu of curry sauce, sausage and chips and gravy.
Somewhere as small as Russell's Green, a field, yard or drive is frequently the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives and we will plan for them, and firm ground matters more than anything. You’ll know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A plated meal needs a kitchen, more staff and typically costs more per head. A van needs only a level spot and permission to park. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
What you get with us
- Classic food your guests already know
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- We cover Russell's Green and the whole of East Sussex

Allergies and dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Mention any vegetarian or vegan guests
- Arrange an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Fewer choices mean faster service
Fish and chips is at its best fresh from the fryer, so we fry to order as the queue moves.
A chalkboard by the hatch with the menu keeps the queue moving.
What happens on the day
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. By late September, sunset in Russell's Green is around 7:00pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the queue.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Clear the route for the van
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

How we price a fish and chip van
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Service time
- The day of the week
- Cod, haddock or both
- Travel, tolls and road charges
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Your date and serving time
- Allergies and diets you know about
- A picture of where the van would go
- The address or venue name
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, use our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Space, access and the venue
If a spot isn’t suitable, we will tell you. What matters most:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- 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 will say what we think before booking.
