What happens on the day

- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.

Common questions in West Barnham
Which station is closest to West Barnham?
Barnham station, in West Barnham itself.
How far is West Barnham from London?
Roughly 52 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
When should we book for December?
As early as possible. Fridays in December book up first.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order.
What affects the price in West Barnham
We will give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Access and parking
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The number of meals
- The minimum booking
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
What to tell us
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- A picture of where the van would go
- The address or venue name
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Rough numbers for adults and children
