How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. It gets dark in Westham by about 3:55pm at Christmas; park the van where there is good light.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Common questions in Westham
How far is Westham from London?
Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station is closest to Westham?
Pevensey & Westham station, in Westham itself.
What time is best for food?
Early in the evening generally works best. For a lunch, tell us your break time.
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’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do you cater Christmas fairs?
Yes, it is a popular stall. Send us the details.
What if it is raining or freezing?
Not for the cooking. Plan cover and lighting for the queue.
How early do Christmas dates go?
Very early. Fridays in December book up first.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Keep the queue dry
- Check the van can park on site
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Send round an allergy question
When service is finished, we pack up.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.

These are the factors that matter most:
- Any minimum charge
- How easy the site is to reach

- Distance and any road charges
Larger groups typically cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

We take the van to 289 places in East Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. We serve events right across the region, from Westham to Brighton (about 20 miles away).
Christmas fairs at a church such as St Mary's Church can book the van as a hot-food stall. PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as Pevensey and Westham CofE Primary School, suit a chip van.

With the sea within about 4 miles, December breezes can be cold.
