DIY versus a fish and chip van

FAQs for Heyshott Green

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.

Is Heyshott Green close to London?

About 46 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.

Can you go on a lawn or field?

Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

Do you do Christmas markets?

Yes, and hot food goes down well in December. Get in touch with the date.

Can you cater for allergies?

Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.

Does the batter contain gluten?

Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options before booking.

What areas do you cover?

We cover London and the South East, including West Sussex. See all areas.

Do you cover Heyshott Green?

We do. We serve events in Heyshott Green and across West Sussex. Send us your date to check availability.

Planners, venues and businesses

Curry sauce

Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.

Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it is hot, crisp and generous.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

A hog roast is popular at Christmas, but it is one dish. A van offers fish, sausages and pies. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. A short menu is frequently the best value.

Why book with us

  • Something for guests to gather round
  • No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
  • Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
  • We cook inside the van, whatever the weather

See how we price or our guide to van hire costs.

Why choose Christmas party fish and chips in Heyshott Green?

How the day works

We do not cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. By about 4:00pm in late December, it’s dark in Heyshott Green; park the van where there’s good light.

  1. Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
  2. A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
  3. A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
  4. The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
  5. Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

Preparing for the day

  • Share the timings for the day
  • Let us know who to talk to on the day
  • Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
