- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Flat, firm ground for the van
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Etchingwood
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’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Etchingwood close to London?
About 37 miles from central London.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Etchingwood.
Can you feed staff across different shifts?
Give us the break times and we will serve in waves.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Collect allergies in advance
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Flag any coeliac staff
Plan the queue away from vehicle routes.
A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.
How the day works
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Staff will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Lunchtime staff treats in Etchingwood are in daylight all year round, but evening events need lights from about 3:55pm in December or 7:05pm in late September.
- We start with your date, site, numbers and shifts.
- We check the site and send a price and any details facilities need.
- We arrange the van’s spot and arrival with the site.
- We cook to order for each group as they come out.
- We clear up and leave the site as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Tell us when you want to eat
