Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Is Fittleworth too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can the van come to Fittleworth?
We do. We serve events in Fittleworth and across West Sussex. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
When should we eat?
Food early on is generally wise, before the drinks really flow. For lunchtime, we will work to your break.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
