Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
The process
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. With darkness by about 3:55pm in December, winter van visits in Rye Foreign suit lunchtime, while summer visits can run into the evening, with light until about 9:15pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for residents.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few residents with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Plan it with your catering manager

What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
