Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Broomer's Corner
What’s the nearest station to Broomer's Corner?
Billingshurst station, about 3.4 miles north-west of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Broomer's Corner?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Do you cater Christmas fairs?
Yes. Tell us the date and pitch.
What if it’s raining or freezing?
We cook inside the van, so the weather doesn’t stop us. Keep the van close to the door.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is 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 normally the easier option.

Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it is hot, crisp and generous.
