Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Gay Street
What’s the nearest station to Gay Street?
The closest is Pulborough station, roughly 2.7 miles away.
Is Gay Street too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you feed staff across different shifts?
Yes, if we know the times. We will plan it with you.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
What does the van need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Can the van come to our open day?
Yes, and it keeps people on site longer. Tell us the expected numbers and hours.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
The process
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. Staff will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. For an end-of-day event in Gay Street, summer gives you light until about 9:20pm; in late May it’s about 8:50pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a sandwich platter, a chip van feels like a proper treat. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
Why book with us
- A quote that spells everything out
- Hot food handed straight over
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Something for staff to gather round
Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few staff with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Share the shift pattern
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Send round an allergy question
Put bins near the hatch.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
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.

What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and it’s a favourite with children.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
