Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:

Battle questions
Is Battle close to London?
Roughly 47 miles from the centre of London.
Which station is closest to Battle?
Battle station, about 0.6 miles south-east of the centre.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
What time is best for the van?
Most couples choose between 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance. We will fit your running order.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Children typically love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
The menu, dish by dish
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Organising for someone else?
Hosting at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Numbers
- Cod, haddock or both
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Whether a minimum applies
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- The address or venue name
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where the van would park
- Expected numbers
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. To send your details, fill in our quote form.
