Common questions in Etchingham
What’s the nearest station to Etchingham?
Etchingham station, in Etchingham itself.
Do you come to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Do you work around shifts?
Tell us the shift and break times and we’ll plan service around them.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
Can you come onto our site?
That is up to your site, but car parks and yards usually work well.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Can the van come to our open day?
We do. A chip van gives visitors something to queue for and talk about.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Why choose corporate fish and chip catering in Etchingham?
Hot food in the car park, rain or shine.
