Our fish and chip van hire in BN22
The van needs no kitchen, no hall and no crockery. All it needs is a level spot it can reach, which suits drives, yards, car parks and firm lawns. We are often asked to cater weddings, especially the evening and big birthdays, with gravy, haddock and chips and pie and chips.
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the space for the van, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, park up and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried fresh and handed over from the hatch.
- Afterwards, we clear up and head off.

Fish and chip van hire in BN22: local guide
Across BN22, we serve 3 towns and 1 villages and hamlets, so whether your event is in Eastbourne, Old Town and Upperton or a quiet village, the approach is the same: firm ground, access and agreed timings. 7 of the places we cover in BN22 are within about 6 miles of the sea, so we frequently plan a sheltered side for the queue, and fish and chips feels right at home.
Hampden Park: If you are organising a summer fair for a school like Heron Park Primary Academy, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. Parks such as Princes Park generally need permission from the council or landowner for a catering van, so check first. In Hampden Park, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so summer evening events are normally served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Put bins and napkins by the van
- Fewer choices mean faster service
- Put allergy details in writing
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We arrive in good time, set up, cook and serve, and keep in touch with you about timings.
Bunting or festoon lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Ordering a takeaway for a crowd means long waits and food that cools on the journey. A van fries on the spot, so it is crisp when it’s handed over.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether VAT is included
- What the van needs: space, access, power
- Exactly what’s included in the price
- Allergen information for each item
Before you choose a spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Access wide and high enough for the van
Working with your venue
Having the party at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
About the food
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
BN22: your questions answered
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
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 plan a back-up spot.
Does a chip van work for big events?
It can be. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will tell you honestly how service will work.
