What else we do in Ramsdean
Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
What the van needs
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
