- Expected numbers
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can send us your details through our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Do not forget your suppliers
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Plan something for guests we can’t cater for
Remember the band, photographer and venue staff when you give us numbers.
Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.
Working with your venue
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.

Space, access and the venue
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- A short walk from the party
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Cade Street questions
Is Cade Street too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you come to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
How it works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Guests generally gather round the hatch once service starts. In Cade Street, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:00pm, which means evening fish and chips is often served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- You tell us your date, venue, rough numbers and when you’d like the food.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- We agree arrival and serving times with you and your venue.
- On the day we set up in good time and fry fresh at the agreed time.
- We pack up when service is finished, leaving the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Make sure the van can get in
- Get permission for the van from the venue

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
