Working with your venue

Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.

If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.

How we price a fish and chip van for your party

Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:

  • The minimum booking
  • The date and time of year
  • Travel, tolls and road charges
  • Access and parking

Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.

What we need to know

To check availability and price, we need:

  • A picture of the space and the way in
  • Allergies and diets you know about
  • Rough numbers for adults and children
  • Where the van would park

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.

Bodle Street Green questions

Do you come to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?

Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.

Do you come out to small places like Bodle Street Green?

Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.

Do you have a kids’ option?

Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.

How much space do you need?

Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.

What do you need at the house?

Tell us what’s available at the address when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.

Can you cook in the rain?

We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

How early do summer dates go?

As early as you can for summer weekends. Contact us with your date.

How far ahead should we book?

As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.

How the day works

The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. In Bodle Street Green, a June party has light until about 9:15pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:00pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.

  1. Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
  2. A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
  3. A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
  4. We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
  5. Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

How to prepare

  • Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
  • Choose a level, firm spot for the van
  • Give us a contact for the day

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.

You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.

Where the van can park in Bodle Street Green

We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:

  • Access wide and high enough for the van
  • Room in front of the hatch for a queue
  • Permission from the venue or landowner for the van

If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
