Planners, venues and businesses
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Heyshott? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.

Common questions in Heyshott
Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Heyshott too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options before booking.
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.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
About the food
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
What else we do in Heyshott
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Put allergy details in writing
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Agree the spot with the venue
We arrive in good time and set up in a lit spot.
Hot drinks alongside make it even better.
Prices and what affects them
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How easy the site is to reach
- The menu and how many choices
- How many people are eating
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Where the event is
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The date and time of the event
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will come back with a clear quote.
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
