Allergies and dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
- Ensure the van and queue are well lit
- Keep the queue dry
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
Stagger groups so the queue stays short in the cold.
A hot drinks station run by your team pairs well with the van.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?

Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Plumpton
Do you come out to small places like Plumpton?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is Plumpton from London?
Roughly 41 miles from the centre of London.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Normally, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
