FAQs for Walberton
Is Walberton too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you serve near the sea around Walberton?
Yes, of course. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Do you do Christmas markets?
Yes. Tell us the date and pitch.
What time is best for food?
Early in the evening usually works best. For a lunch, tell us your break time.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
