Our fish and chip van hire in BN24

Queuing at the hatch is half the experience. People chat, the smell drifts across, and the food arrives hot. On the menu are pie and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re frequently booked for evening wedding food and milestone birthday parties.

We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we are there in good time before you want to eat.

First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
We arrive early, set up and get the fryers hot.
Everything is fried fresh and handed over from the hatch.
When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.

What you will pay

The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.

A fish and chip van across BN24: what to know

BN24 covers everything from Stone Cross, Pevensey Bay and Westham to 6 small villages and hamlets, and the van works in all of them. Town bookings mean planning parking; village bookings mean planning access. 7 of the places we cover in BN24 are within about 6 miles of the sea, where we always think about shelter for the queue.

Stone Cross: If you’re gathering after a service at a church like St Luke's Church, a nearby hall car park or drive suits the van. Historic houses near Stone Cross include Michelham Priory (4.8 miles north-west). Historic venues frequently limit vehicles, so ask early if you’re booking one. Evening events need a little planning for light: around Stone Cross, it stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.

Why a fish and chip van works

A van is food and an occasion in one. The hatch becomes a meeting point, and the food is hot and plentiful.

These are some of the bookings we take around BN24:

Village fêtes and school fairs
Wakes and celebrations of life
Big birthdays
Christmas parties

Space, access and the venue

Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:

A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
A lit spot if service runs after dark
Flat, firm ground for the van

Should I sort the food myself?

Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.

Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
