Questions from Crosspost
Do you come out to small places like Crosspost?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Crosspost?
Wivelsfield station, about 4.2 miles east of the centre.
Is grass a problem?
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 cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, West Sussex included. Find your area.
Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
Office caterers bring cold buffets. A chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
