Party fish and chip van for your party in Battle
A chip van turns a party into an occasion without anyone being stuck in the kitchen. We park up, fry to order and hand it over hot. Whether it’s family reunions and engagement parties, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, sausage and chips and gravy and more.
In a place like Battle, a party at home is usually the easiest option. Tell us about the drive and the lane, and we’ll do the rest. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Mention the van to neighbours
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
- Check the street’s parking rules
Put bins and napkins near the hatch.
A sign by the hatch with the menu speeds things up.
What else we do in Battle
How the day works
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. For a late-May party in Battle, sunset is around 8:45pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:15pm. After dark, light the area around the van.
- It starts with your date, address and numbers.
- We check access for the van and send a quote.
- We arrive, park on the drive or agreed spot and set up.

Planning help
Working with your venue
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Planning a party in Battle
Battle is about 5 miles north of Bexhill-on-Sea, in East Sussex. From the centre of Battle to the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh frying, hot food from the hatch and a clear price. We take the van to 289 places across East Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. We serve events right across the region, from Battle to Brighton (about 27 miles away).
For party guests on the train, the closest railway station is Battle station, roughly 0.6 miles south-east of the centre. After a christening at a church like The Parish Church of St Mary, a chip van at home is an easy way to feed family and friends. Battle is within about 7 miles of the High Weald National Landscape, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.
This part of East Sussex takes in TN33, and we can serve your party anywhere in it. Streets in the area include High Street, Market Road and Station Road, and the van can serve a party on any of them with a suitable parking spot. Being close to the A271 and A2100, Battle is easy for us to reach. Other places close to Battle we cover include Steven's Crouch (2 miles west), Netherfield (2 miles north-west), Mountfield (2 miles north), John's Cross (3 miles north) and Penhurst (3 miles west). Further out, we also take the van to Eastbourne (12 miles south-west), Hastings (5 miles south-east), Bexhill-on-Sea (5 miles south), Hailsham (11 miles west), St Leonards (5 miles south-east) and Polegate (12 miles south-west).
A little further out are Battle Museum of Local History (less than half a mile north) and Conquest Hospital (4.3 miles south-east). Green spaces nearby include Church Wood and Robsack Wood and Senlac Hill.
- Schools near Battle include Claverham Community College (0.7 miles west)
- Local pubs include The Abbey Hotel (within half a mile south-east)
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
What a fish and chip van costs
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Parking and the way in
- The minimum booking
- Distance and any road charges
The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Your date and serving time
- Expected numbers
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Dietary needs, with numbers
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat, and we’ll reply with a quote. Just send us your details through our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Flat, firm ground for the van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
A venue plus caterer can be expensive. A van on the drive keeps it simple. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.

Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
- 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
