High Salvington questions
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’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can the van park in Clapham Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes, and hot food goes down well in December. Send us the details.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
What if it is raining or freezing?
Not for the cooking. Guests appreciate cover and a short walk.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Book as early as possible for December
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Check the van can park on site
Send people out in groups.
Fairy lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
The process
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. At about 4:00pm in late December, it gets dark in High Salvington, so put the van where there’s good light.
- It starts with your date, site and numbers.
- We check access and lighting at the spot and send a price.
- We agree arrival, lighting and the serving spot with you or the venue.
- We cook to order and serve from the hatch on time.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave you to the party.
How to prepare
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
How to get a price
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.

For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
