Party fish and chip van in Ore, cooked to order
A chip van works for birthdays, garden parties and family celebrations. It’s food every generation enjoys. Typical bookings include get-togethers with old friends and retirement celebrations, serving gravy, curry sauce and cod and chips.
In a place like Ore, a party at home is normally the easiest option. Tell us about the drive and the lane, and we will do the rest. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Ore questions
We’re gathering after a service at Christ Church: can you come?
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.
Can you serve near the sea around Ore?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Ore.
What do you need at the house?
A suitable spot for the van, mainly. Tell us what’s available and we’ll take it from there.
Do you do street parties?
Yes, once the council has agreed the closure. Mention the van in your application.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- Numbers
- Cod, haddock or both
- Access and parking
- Any minimum charge
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What to tell us

- Expected numbers
- Where the van would park
- Allergies and diets you know about
- A picture of the space and the way in
Each quote is put together for your party. Start with your date, and we will check availability straight away.
Planning a party in Ore
Ore is about 2 miles east of Hastings, in East Sussex. Give us the address of your party in Ore, and we will plan access and set-up before the day. Ore is one of 289 places in East Sussex we cover. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 32 miles away.

For party guests on the train, Ore station, about 0.8 miles south-west, is the nearest station. The coast is within about 2 miles, so a chip van is a natural choice, and we always plan for wind.

The process
We do not cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Sunset in Ore drops to about 7:00pm by late September and 3:55pm by December, so think about lighting by the van.
- Send us the date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get an access check and a clear price.
- We arrive, park on the drive or agreed spot and set up.
- We serve hot from the hatch while the party carries on.
- Afterwards, we clear up and leave you to it.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
Getting a price
