FAQs for Abingworth

Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?

Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.

Is Abingworth close to London?

About 41 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.

How much does a fish and chip van for your team cost in Abingworth?

Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.

Do you serve visitors at events?

Yes, it’s a great draw. Send us the timings and numbers.

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.

Can the van come to Abingworth?

Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Abingworth and the rest of West Sussex. For a quote, use our quote form.

Do we need to provide anything?

A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.

Can you serve each shift?

Yes, if we know the times. We will agree a service plan before the day.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?

Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.

For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

Prices and what affects them

Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:

  • Numbers
  • The date and time of year
  • Your choice of menu
  • Service time

Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.

What to tell us

The more we know about your staff event, the better we can plan. Please include:

  • Dietary needs, with numbers
  • Rough numbers for adults and children
  • Where the event is
  • The date and when you’d like to eat

Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.

How it works

The first sign we have arrived is normally the smell, about the time the first staff wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. A lunch-break van visit in Abingworth is always in daylight, but evening events need lights from about 3:55pm in December or 7:05pm in late September.

  1. Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
  2. Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
  3. Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
  4. We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
  5. Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

Preparing for the day

  • Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
  • Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
  • Clear the route for the van
