A chip van near Dallington
The process
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. Sunset in Dallington drops to about 7:00pm by late September and 3:55pm by December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check access for the van and send a quote.
- On the day we arrive, park up and heat the fryers.
- Guests come up to the hatch and we fry to order.
- We pack up when we are done and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Where the van can park in Dallington
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Dallington
Is Dallington close to London?
Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
We’re gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St Giles: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you come to Dallington?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Dallington and the rest of East Sussex. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Will the van fit on our drive?
Normally, if the drive is level and firm and the van can get in. Send a photo of the drive and the way in.
Do you need power or water from us?
Tell us what’s available at the address when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Planners, venues and businesses
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.

- The minimum booking
- How many people are eating
- Access and parking
- The day of the week
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.

- The address or venue name
- The date and when you’d like to eat

- Anniversaries and engagement parties

- Reunions and family get-togethers

After a christening at a church like The Parish Church of St Giles, a chip van at home is an easy way to feed family and friends.
