Why choose a fish and chip van in Potter's Green?
Compared with cooking a barbecue yourself, the host is not stuck cooking all afternoon. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Why us?
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Something for guests to gather round
- Classic food your guests already know
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
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.

Potter's Green questions
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Potter's Green?
Potter's Green has its own station: Buxted station.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options before booking.
What do you need at the house?
Let us know about power and water at the house, and we will say what we need.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Potter's Green.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Let your neighbours know
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Show us where the van would go
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
We park on the agreed spot and set up, and serve as the party carries on.
A gazebo by the hatch keeps the queue dry.
Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
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’s crisp when it reaches you.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
