About fish and chip van hire in BN27

If the van can park there, we can fry there: a driveway, a car park, a yard or a firm field. We are frequently asked to cater festive get-togethers and birthday celebrations, with haddock and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.

We arrive on time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for.

  1. First, the plan: what, where and what time.
  2. You hear back on the date and the price.
  3. The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
  4. Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
  5. The pitch is left tidy when we go.

Pricing in BN27

Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your event.

A fish and chip van across BN27: what to know

Across BN27, we serve 3 towns and 18 villages and hamlets, so the setting can be anything from Hailsham, Upper Horsebridge and Hellingly to a quiet hamlet: a level spot, a clear way in and a plan.

Hailsham: If you are organising a summer fair for a school like Hailsham Community College, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. Churches such as The Parish Church of Saint Mary rarely have room for a van, but a hall or home close by usually does. Around midsummer it stays light in Hailsham until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.

What a fish and chip van costs

Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:

  • How long we serve
  • Your choice of menu
  • Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
  • How many people are eating

Larger groups typically cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

What to tell us

Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:

Food your guests will love

Cod and chips

Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.

Haddock and chips

Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.

FAQs for BN27

Do you clear up afterwards?

We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.

How long will the queue be?

Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.

Where do you take the van?

We take the van across London and the South East, East Sussex included. Find your area.

Does the batter contain gluten?

Not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.

How much space do you need?

A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.

Can you cater for allergies?

We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.

When do you arrive?

That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
