Questions from East Lavington
How far is East Lavington from London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London.
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 will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before booking.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Do you serve visitors at events?
Yes, and it keeps people on site longer. Tell us the expected numbers and hours.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.

- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
