Fish and chip van hire in TN19: what to expect

Because the cooking is in the van, the weather doesn’t stop us. That makes it a safe bet for British events. Typical bookings include milestone birthday parties and Fêtes, fairs and school events, serving cod and chips, gravy and mushy peas.

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.

Planning a chip van in TN19

TN19 covers everything from Burwash, Hurst Green and Burwash Common to 10 small villages and hamlets, and the van works in all of them. In towns, plan parking and access; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground. Parts of TN19 are within a few miles of the High Weald National Landscape, where some venues have extra rules about vehicles.

Planning the van’s spot

The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:

  • Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
  • A short walk from the party
  • Lighting nearby for evening events

Is a fish and chip van right for you?

With a barbecue, somebody ends up cooking all afternoon. With a van, nobody misses the event.

Questions to ask before you book

  • The minimum number of meals or minimum spend
  • The deadline for final numbers
  • The cancellation terms
  • Whether VAT is included

Planners, venues and businesses

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.

Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.

Questions from TN19

Is it a full meal?

Yes. Fish and chips with mushy peas is a full meal.

Is the fish gluten-free?

Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.

What if the weather’s bad?

We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

What is fish and chip van hire?

The van parks at your venue, we fry fresh and serve from the hatch.

Do you need power or water?

Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.

How long does set-up take?

We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.

How quickly can you serve everyone?

That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
