Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Parking and the way in
- Whether a minimum applies
- How long we serve
- The date and time of year
Larger groups typically cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- The venue or postcode
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- A picture of the parking spot
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Still finalising the details? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. Start when you are ready: fill in our quote form.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Telham
Can you serve near the sea around Telham?
Yes, of course. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Which station is closest to Telham?
The closest is Battle station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
What time is best for the van?
At the time you choose. After the first dance is the most popular time.
For event organisers in Telham
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Telham? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.

What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
The process
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it is served. At midsummer, sunset in Telham is about 9:15pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:45pm, and in late September about 7:00pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Preparing for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Planning help
Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Plan bins by the hatch
It is kind to include suppliers working late when you give us numbers.
