Near Northiam, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Prices and what affects them
We will give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Your choice of menu
- The date and time of year
- The length of service
- The minimum booking
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
What we need to know
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Where the event is
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- A picture of where the van would go
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A buffet is easy but forgettable. The van becomes part of the party. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your party.
What you get with us
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- We cover Northiam and the whole of East Sussex
- A quote that spells everything out
- Fried fresh, not kept warm

What the van needs
We’ll be honest if a spot will not work, and help find another. What matters most:
- A short walk from the party
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Access wide and high enough for the van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it is on the menu.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Send us a picture of the drive
- Confirm allergies by email
- Ensure the van can park legally
- Let your neighbours know
With children, food about an hour in works well.
Put the menu up by the van.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
The process
Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Sunset in Northiam is about 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Name one person we can call on the day
Ask for a quote
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
