About the food
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Rose Hill: your questions answered
Is Rose Hill close to London?
Roughly 40 miles from the centre of London.
Which station is closest to Rose Hill?
The closest is Uckfield station, roughly 3.1 miles away.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes, and hot food goes down well in December. Get in touch with the date.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is generally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you are not sure.

Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Book as early as possible for December
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Choose a lit spot for the van
- Plan cover for the queue
Afterwards, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Christmas music near the van sets the mood.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
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.
- 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
