Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Pett
What’s the nearest station to Pett?
The closest is Three Oaks station, roughly 2.5 miles away.
Is Pett too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you serve in the cold?
The fryers are inside the van, so we carry on. Plan a short, lit route from the door to the hatch.
Can the van come to Pett?
We do. Pett is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is typically simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
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.
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Step by step
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. It gets dark in Pett by about 3:55pm at Christmas; park the van where there’s good light.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Preparing for the day
