Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Confirm allergies by email

- Plan lighting near the hatch
- Check the van can park on site
When service is finished, we pack up and leave you to the party.
A bit of festive music by the van helps.

Lower Dicker: your questions answered
How far is Lower Dicker from London?
About 45 miles from central London, and well within our area.
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 follow the site rules.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What time is best for food?
Whenever suits your party. Remember it’s dark by about 4pm in December.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Can the van come to Lower Dicker?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Lower Dicker and across East Sussex. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Flat, firm ground for the van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we serve
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
- Cod and chips
- Gravy
- Mushy peas
- Curry sauce
- Sausage and chips
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.

What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
