Fish and chip van hire across BN20
Rain doesn’t stop a fish and chip van, because the fryers are inside. It’s a dependable choice for events in any season. We serve pie and chips, cod and chips and curry sauce, and we are often booked for weddings and evening receptions and milestone birthday parties.
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Cost
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.

Chip van hire across BN20
From Eastbourne, Old Town and Upperton to 3 villages and hamlets, bookings across BN20 range from town-centre sites to farmyards, and the van works in all of them. Town bookings mean planning parking; village bookings mean planning access. Around 11 places in BN20 are close to the coast, where we always think about shelter for the queue, and fish and chips feels right at home.
Lower Willingdon: Among the historic houses close to Lower Willingdon are Alfriston Clergy House (4 miles west) and Michelham Priory (4 miles north-west). Estates like these tend to have strict rules for vans, so check before booking. Churches such as St Wilfrid rarely have room for a van, but a hall or home close by normally does. Evening events need a little planning for light: in Lower Willingdon, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
For event organisers in BN20
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
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.

Allergies and dietary needs

After service, we pack up.
Tables or benches nearby help people eat comfortably.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Barbecues cook in batches, and someone has to stand over the grill. With a van, the host gets to enjoy the day.

Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Questions from BN20
Cod or haddock?
Let us know which you’d prefer and we’ll confirm what we can offer.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Children normally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, East Sussex included. Find your area.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Is a chip van good for a large crowd?
That depends on how many and how quickly. A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving.
