Prices and what affects them
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- The menu and how many choices
- Parking and the way in
- The date and time of year
- The minimum booking
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A picture of the parking spot
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Dietary needs, with numbers
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Party fish and chip van for your party in Blackness
We park on the drive or a firm spot near the party, with the serving hatch towards the garden. For neighbourhood get-togethers and big birthdays, we can cook sausage and chips, curry sauce and cod and chips.
In a small place like Blackness, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we will plan the route. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A short walk from the party
- Access wide and high enough for the van
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

How it works
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your party. Autumn and winter parties in Blackness get dark early: about 7:00pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a lit spot for the van helps.

Planning help
Why choose party fish and chip van in Blackness?
People book a chip van for parties because nobody has to cook. It is also a bit of fun.
The van suits big events and small ones. Typical bookings include:
- Street parties
- Naming days and christenings
- Leaving parties
- Reunions and family get-togethers
After a christening at a church like St Luke's Church, a chip van at home is an easy way to feed family and friends.

FAQs for Blackness
We are gathering after a service at St Luke's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Blackness too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do something for the children?
Most children go for sausage and chips. Tell us how many children to expect.
Do we need to provide anything?
Mostly just a good parking spot. Tell us what’s available and we will take it from there.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, East Sussex included. Find your area.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
A fish and chip van or other catering?

Blackness parties: what to know
Blackness is about 2 miles north of Eastbourne, in East Sussex. People in Blackness book us for all sorts of reasons, but the plan is always the same: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. Blackness is one of 289 places in East Sussex we cover. We serve events right across the region, from Blackness to Brighton (18 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Michelham Priory (4.4 miles north-west) and Horselunges Manor (4.9 miles north-west). For most parties, a home or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict vehicle rules. For party guests on the train, the closest railway station is Pevensey & Westham station, roughly 1.5 miles east of the centre. The South Downs National Park is within about 6 miles of Blackness, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop. Near the coast, within about 4 miles, a fish and chip van feels like a trip to the seaside.
We serve parties across the BN24 postcode area. Your party could be at a house on Forge Place, Hailsham Road and Hankham Road or the roads around them, as long as there is somewhere for the van. Neighbouring places where we serve parties include Hankham (1 mile north-east), Stone Cross (1 mile south-east), Polegate (2 miles west), Lower Willingdon (2 miles south-west) and Willingdon (2 miles south-west). Further out, we also take the van to Hastings (12 miles east), Bexhill-on-Sea (8 miles east), Seaford (9 miles west), Lewes (13 miles west), Hailsham (3 miles north-west) and St Leonards (12 miles east).
Well-known places in the area include Pevensey Court House Museum And Gaol (1.9 miles east) and Eastbourne District General Hospital (2.5 miles south-west). The countryside around Blackness includes Combe Hill.
- Local schools include Causeway School (0.9 miles south)
- Local pubs include The Red Lion pub (less than half a mile south)
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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 solves that by cooking on site.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
