Questions from East Harting
Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Is East Harting close to London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few staff with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Flag any coeliac staff
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
Send a message round when the van opens, and stagger departments if you can.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.
A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce and it is on the menu.
How it works
Changes on the day are fine: we will adjust start times and pace. For an end-of-day event in East Harting, summer gives you light until about 9:20pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:55pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
