A chip van near Sedlescombe
How it works
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Your guests can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. In Sedlescombe, a June party has light until about 9:15pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:00pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you’re eating late.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check where the van can park and send a price.
- On the day we arrive, park up and heat the fryers.
- We fry fresh and serve from the hatch as your guests come up.
- Afterwards, we clear up and leave you to it.
How to prepare
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch

How our party fish and chip van works in Sedlescombe
Food is fried to order, so it is hot and crisp, rather than sitting on a buffet table all afternoon. Typical bookings include leaving parties and summer garden parties, serving sausage and chips, gravy and curry sauce.
A country party near Sedlescombe is perfect for fish and chips: fried fresh and eaten outside. Plan a firm spot in case it rains. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Take a look at our prices page and what a fish and chip van costs.
Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Organising for someone else?
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
How we price a fish and chip van for your party
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Distance and any road charges
- The day of the week
- The minimum booking
- How easy the site is to reach
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
