Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.

What else we do in Roser's Cross
Step by step
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. At midsummer, it’s light in Roser's Cross until about 9:15pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- 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.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the drive tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day

Questions from Roser's Cross
Can you serve after a service at The Parish Church of All Saints?
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 generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can the van park in Passingworth Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
How early do summer dates go?
Weekends from May to September are busiest, so ask early.
How much does a fish and chip van for your party cost in Roser's Cross?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is normally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can you come to a street party?
Yes, with the council’s permission for the road closure. Tell the council about the van.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Before you choose a spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- A short walk from the party
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- The length of service
- Cod, haddock or both
- How far we travel
- The number of meals
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Your date and serving time
- The venue or postcode
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.

Planning a party in Roser's Cross
Roser's Cross is about 5 miles east of Uckfield, in East Sussex. Across the TN21 area, we will come to your venue, home or workplace. Roser's Cross is one of 289 places in East Sussex we cover. You can also see our page for Brighton, about 17 miles away.
A green space like Passingworth Park is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, typically the council’s. If guests are coming by rail, Buxted station, about 3.7 miles north-west, is the nearest station. The High Weald National Landscape is within about 5 miles of Roser's Cross, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.
Wherever your party is in TN21, we can fry fresh for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Your party could be at a house on Forest Place, Warren Lane and Fir Grove Road, wherever the van can park. Other places close to Roser's Cross we cover include Waldron (1 mile south), Cross in Hand (1 mile north-east), Lions Green (2 miles south), Sandy Cross (2 miles east) and Heathfield (2 miles east).

Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- A picture of the parking spot helps

- Send allergies to us in writing
When everyone has eaten, we pack up and leave the drive tidy.
A few lights around the van look great.
Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
