Flansham questions
Can the van park in The Brooks Local Nature Reserve?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What about events near the coast?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
How many evening guests should we cater for?
Usually most, not all. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
What affects the price in Flansham
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The length of service
- The menu and how many choices
- Travel, tolls and road charges
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of where the van would go
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, use our quote form.
The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and children love it.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. Evening food at a Flansham wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Getting ready for the day

- Let us know the serving time
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch

Planners, venues and businesses

For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
