Questions from Walberton
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 will work to whatever the site needs.
Is Walberton close to London?
About 51 miles from central London.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Can you park at the home?
In the car park or on the drive, away from ambulance routes.
Can you do smaller portions for residents?
We will plan portions with the home.
Before you choose a spot
We will be honest if a spot won’t work. The main points are:
- A clear way in for the van
- Away from emergency access
- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What else we do in Walberton
The menu, dish by dish
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it’s on the menu.
Should I sort the food myself?
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 solves that by cooking on site.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Organise staff to carry food in
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Ask about smaller portions
- Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen
We arrive in good time to park and heat the fryers.
Bunting, deckchairs and a seaside theme make it an occasion.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
