What affects the price in Slindon
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- How easy the site is to reach
- The day of the week
- Numbers
- How long we serve
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- The date and time of the event
Not sure of numbers yet? That’s fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. To start, use our quote form.

FAQs for Slindon
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
What’s the nearest station to Slindon?
The closest is Barnham station, roughly 2.5 miles away.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
Where will the van park?
On a level spot in the car park or drive, clear of emergency access.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac residents in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Are visitors included?
Yes, it is a lovely chance for families to visit.

What else we do in Slindon
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
A closer look at the menu
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
What happens on the day
You will know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. In Slindon, the garden season runs from late May, with light until about 8:50pm, to late September, around 7:05pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for residents.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
