FAQs for Bevendean
Can you serve near the sea around Bevendean?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Can the van park in Whitehawk Hill?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.

We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac residents and we’ll explain the options.
