Party fish and chip van in Argos Hill, cooked to order
Guests who don’t know each other end up chatting in the queue. We serve cod and chips, curry sauce and pie and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater summer garden parties and anniversary celebrations.
In a small place like Argos Hill, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Argos Hill questions
Which station is closest to Argos Hill?
The closest is Crowborough station, roughly 2.3 miles away.
We are gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St Denys: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Will the van fit on our drive?
It depends on the drive and the access. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead branches, and we will advise.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
When should we book for a summer party?
As early as you can for summer weekends. Ask about your date.
What can guests choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Do you need power or water from us?
A suitable spot for the van, mainly. Tell us what’s available and we will take it from there.
Takeaway run or book a van?
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 cooks in front of your guests instead.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
