Working with your venue
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
With a barbecue, somebody ends up at the grill. With a van, everyone gets a break. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your staff event is.
Why book with us
- No kitchen needed
- Events in Folkington and across East Sussex
- Classic food your staff already know
- Quick service from the hatch
Take a look at how we price or our guide to van hire costs.
Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Before you choose a spot
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.
