Party fish and chip van in Peasmarsh
Party fish and chip van in Peasmarsh, cooked to order
Sausage and chips covers the children and anyone who doesn’t want fish, so one van feeds the whole party. We’re often asked to cater milestone birthdays and christenings and naming days, with cod and chips, pie and chips and gravy.
Country parties near Peasmarsh suit a chip van: fried fresh and eaten outside. Have a firm back-up spot for wet weather. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Questions from Peasmarsh
Do you come out to small places like Peasmarsh?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you serve near the sea around Peasmarsh?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Is there a kids’ option?
Of course. Children generally love sausage and chips. Include them in your numbers.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options before booking.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, East Sussex included. Find your area.

Peasmarsh parties: what to know
Peasmarsh is about 9 miles north-east of Hastings, in East Sussex. For a party in Peasmarsh, we can park on a drive, a car park, a yard or firm, dry grass. We cover all 289 towns and villages in East Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. We serve events right across the region, from Peasmarsh to Canterbury (27 miles away).
Christenings and naming days often start at a local church such as The Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul, with fish and chips at home or in a hall afterwards. If guests are coming by rail, Rye station, about 2.3 miles south-east, is the nearest station. The coast is within about 3 miles, so a chip van is a natural choice, and we always plan for wind.
Parties anywhere in TN31 start with a parking spot for the van and roughly how many guests. That could mean a party at a home on Main Street, Farleys Way and The Maltings or the roads around them, as long as there is somewhere for the van. Nearby, we also serve parties in Flackley Ash (1 mile north-west), Beckley (2 miles north-west), Cock Marling (2 miles south), Udimore (3 miles south-west) and Broadland Row (3 miles south-west). Larger places within reach include Hastings (9 miles south-west), Bexhill-on-Sea (13 miles south-west), St Leonards (10 miles south-west), Hastings Old Town (9 miles south-west), Belmont (9 miles south-west) and Hollington (9 miles south-west).
Other landmarks nearby include Ypres Tower (2.6 miles south-east) and Rye Castle Museum (East Street) (2.5 miles south-east). Within reach you will find Flatropers Wood.
- Nearby schools include Rye College (2.2 miles south-east)
- Pubs nearby include The Horse And Cart Inn (less than half a mile south-east)
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
A chip van compared with other options
A venue plus caterer can be expensive. A van on the drive keeps it simple. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your party is.
What you get with us
- A van that becomes part of the event
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Hot food handed straight over

Before you choose a spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A short walk from the party
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

For planners, venues and organisers

What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
