For event organisers in Furnace Green
Organising a club, school or community event in Furnace Green? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Plan cover for the queue
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
- Confirm allergies by email
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
Send people out in groups in the cold.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.
How the day works
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. By about 3:55pm in late December, it’s dark in Furnace Green; choose a lit spot near the door for the van, and keep the walk short.
- 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.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Questions from Furnace Green
Could you trade in Tilgate Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What’s the nearest station to Furnace Green?
Three Bridges station, about 1.2 miles north of the centre.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
