Party fish and chip van for Saint Hill Green events

Party fish and chip van for your party in Saint Hill Green

For children, there’s sausage and chips, so one van feeds the whole party. We serve pie and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for kids’ birthday parties and engagement parties.

In a small place like Saint Hill Green, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll handle the rest. You’ll know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

How we price a fish and chip van for your party

We will give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:

  • Access and parking
  • Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
  • The minimum booking
  • How far we travel

The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.

Getting an accurate quote

These details help us quote quickly:

  • How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
  • The date and time of the event
  • A photo of the parking spot
  • The spot you have in mind for the van

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, use our quote form.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.

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.

Planners, venues and businesses

For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.

If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Saint Hill Green?

Compared with cooking a barbecue yourself, the host isn’t stuck cooking all afternoon. Larger groups generally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

What you get with us

  • Fish and chips fried fresh on site
  • Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
  • Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
  • Rain doesn’t stop the fryers

How it works

We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Guests normally gather round the hatch as soon as we open. Midsummer parties in Saint Hill Green stay bright until about 9:20pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:05pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.

  1. Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
  2. Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
  3. Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
  4. We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
  5. Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

Preparing for the day

  • Plan where the queue will stand
  • Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
  • Ensure the van can get in

FAQs for Saint Hill Green

Do you come out to small places like Saint Hill Green?

No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

Can the van go to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?

Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.

Does the batter contain gluten?

No, not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.

What about guests who do not eat fish?

There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.

Do you fry it on site?

It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

Is grass a problem?

That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.

Is there something for children?

Yes. Children generally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.

What food do you serve?

Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.

15 questions to ask before you book

Space, access and the venue

A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:

  • The site’s agreement to a catering van
  • A lit spot if service runs after dark
  • Access wide and high enough for the van

If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
