Climping: your questions answered
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your Christmas party and we’ll send a quote.
What if it is raining or freezing?
The fryers are inside the van, so we carry on. Keep the van close to the door.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Hosting at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
