Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Heathfield: your questions answered
Do you come to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you serve after a service at St Richards Church?
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 usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
How far ahead should we book a party?
Summer weekends go first. Contact us with your date.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the address when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
Do you do street parties?
Often, yes. Start the road closure application early.
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.
Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- A photo of the parking spot helps
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
- Count children separately
- Arrange an alternative if needed
We arrive, park up and heat the fryers, then serve as guests come up.
A few lights around the van look great.
How we price a fish and chip van for your party
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- Distance and any road charges
- Numbers
- The date and time of year
- The length of service
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 will send you a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Where the van would park
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- A picture of the space and the way in

- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
