Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Talk to us about evening numbers
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Ensure we have someone to call on the day
We arrive and set up without getting in the way, so the fryers are hot when you’re ready.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.
What the van needs
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Flat, firm ground for the van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Formal evening food costs more and slows the party down. Fish and chips from the hatch keeps it informal, and guests eat where they like. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is frequently the best value.
Why us?
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- A clear quote before booking
- All the chip-shop extras

Planners, venues and businesses
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Salvington? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss. For a summer wedding in Salvington, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Plan where the queue will stand

Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
