Do you come out to small places like Bepton Common?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, West Sussex included. See all areas.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
What happens on the day
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. In Bepton Common, a June party has light until about 9:20pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:05pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you are eating late.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Share the timings for the day
Ask for a quote
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. You can send us your details through our quote form.
