Party fish and chip van in Pett, cooked to order
Birthdays, garden parties, anniversaries and christenings all suit a fish and chip van. Everyone from toddlers to grandparents knows what they’re getting. For garden get-togethers and birthday parties, we can cook haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips and more.
In a small place like Pett, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we will plan the route. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.

Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Autumn and winter parties in Pett get dark early: about 7:00pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a lit spot for the van helps.

Hosting a chip van party in Pett
Pett is about 5 miles east of Hastings, in East Sussex. From the centre of Pett to the outskirts, we offer the same service: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. We cover 289 places in East Sussex. We serve events right across the region, from Pett to Canterbury (32 miles away).
Christenings and naming days frequently start at a local church such as St Mary & St Peter, with fish and chips at home or in a hall afterwards. For guests coming by train, the nearest station is Three Oaks station, about 2.5 miles west. Near the coast, within about 5 miles, a fish and chip van feels like a trip to the seaside.
This part of East Sussex takes in TN35, so your party can be anywhere in it. Streets in the area include Elms Lane, Pett Road and Chick Hill, and the van can serve a party on any of them with a suitable parking spot. We also bring the van to parties in Fairlight Cove (1 mile south), Friar's Hill (1 mile west), Guestling Green (2 miles west), Fairlight (2 miles south-west) and Guestling (2 miles west). Within a short drive, we also cover Hastings (5 miles west), Bexhill-on-Sea (9 miles west), St Leonards (6 miles south-west), Hastings Old Town (4 miles south-west), Belmont (4 miles south-west) and Hollington (5 miles west).

Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
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.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The menu and how many choices
- The day of the week
- Whether a minimum applies
- Numbers
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us
These details help us quote quickly:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A photo of the parking spot
- The venue or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Send us the date, the address or TN35 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and we will reply with a quote. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.

Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.

No, not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options.

Yes, once the council has agreed the closure. Mention the van in your application.
