For planners, venues and organisers
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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 residents instead.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.

Broadbridge: your questions answered
Is Broadbridge too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Broadbridge?
Bosham station, in Broadbridge itself.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, West Sussex included. See all areas.
Can portions be smaller?
We will plan portions with the home.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
Is grass a problem?
Generally, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Space, access and the venue
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Light near the van after dark
- Access the van can manage
- A level, firm spot such as the car park or drive
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
