DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Evening food can be anything from bacon rolls to pizza. A chip van gives a more filling, proper meal that guests remember. The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London.
What’s the nearest station to Telscombe Cliffs?
The closest is Newhaven Town station, roughly 2.9 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. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Evening food is exactly what we do. We’ll agree a serving time around your running order.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, East Sussex included. See all areas.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Generally, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Plan something for guests we cannot cater for
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
If speeches or dances run over, we simply start a little later, so the food is still fresh.
A little sign by the van tells guests what’s on.
Step by step
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. At midsummer, sunset in Telscombe Cliffs is about 9:15pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
