Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Roser's Cross
What’s the nearest station to Roser's Cross?
Buxted station, about 3.7 miles north-west of the centre.
How far is Roser's Cross from London?
About 39 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
What can residents choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
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.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and children love it.
