Party fish and chip van in Ninfield, cooked to order
It is a treat that feels special without being formal: paper portions of fish and chips in the garden. Popular choices include mushy peas, pie and chips and gravy, and we are often booked for retirement celebrations and summer garden parties.
A country party near Ninfield is perfect for fish and chips: fried fresh and eaten outside. Have a firm back-up spot for wet weather. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Allergies and dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
- Arrange an alternative if needed
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
Put bins and napkins near the hatch.
Plan cover in case of showers.
How it works
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. A summer party in Ninfield stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
How we price a fish and chip van for your party
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Your choice of menu
- The date and time of year
- How many people are eating
- The length of service
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The address or venue name
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Expected numbers
- A photo of the parking spot
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Ninfield: your questions answered
Is Ninfield too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Ninfield close to London?
About 48 miles from central London.
What do you need at the house?
A suitable spot for the van, mainly. Mention power and water and we will confirm the rest.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
How far ahead should we book a party?
Weekends from May to September are busiest, so ask early.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Can you do something for the children?
Yes. Children usually love sausage and chips. Include them in your numbers.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Party venues around Ninfield
Ninfield is about 3 miles north-west of Bexhill-on-Sea, in East Sussex. We cover Ninfield as standard, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. Ninfield is one of 289 places in East Sussex where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Ninfield to Brighton (24 miles away).
If you had Ashburnham Park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: vans can’t simply park up and serve in a public park.

Ninfield is within about 8 miles of the High Weald National Landscape, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.
We take the van to parties all over TN33. Local streets include High Street, Moons Hill and The Green; a party on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park.

What the van needs
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
