Fresh fish and chips in Cooper's Green

Prices and what affects them

Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:

  • Service time
  • Cod, haddock or both
  • Access and parking
  • How many people are eating

Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.

Getting an accurate quote

For a quote, it helps to have:

  • Where the van would park
  • A picture of where the van would go
  • The address or venue name
  • The date and when you’d like to eat

Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.

About our party fish and chip van in Cooper's Green

Everything is cooked as people come up, rather than sitting on a buffet table all afternoon. For milestone birthdays and neighbourhood get-togethers, we will put together a menu of haddock and chips, mushy peas and gravy and more.

In a small place like Cooper's Green, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Cooper's Green

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 work to whatever the site needs.

Can the van park in Hempstead Meadow?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.

Do you clear up afterwards?

We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.

What does the van need?

Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.

Is there a kids’ option?

Sausage and chips, usually. Let us know numbers and ages.

Will the van fit on our drive?

Often, yes, with a level drive and a clear way in. Send a picture of the drive and the way in.

Is grass a problem?

Typically, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

How much is fish and chip van hire?

The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.

Step by step

Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. Sunset in Cooper's Green drops to about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December, so think about lighting by the van.

  1. First, the plan: what, where and what time.
  2. You hear back on the date and the price.
  3. We agree exactly where the van parks.
  4. Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
  5. The pitch is left tidy when we go.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us when you want to eat
  • Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
  • Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

Ordering in for a crowd means long waits. The van cooks right there. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your party.

Why Cooper's Green hosts choose us

  • Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
  • Fried fresh, not kept warm
  • Quick service from the hatch
  • Works on wet days as well as sunny ones

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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.

Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.

Working with your venue

Hosting at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
