Common questions in Hailsham
Is Hailsham close to London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to Hailsham?
Polegate station, about 3 miles south of the centre.
Can you feed staff across different shifts?
Tell us the shift and break times and we’ll plan service around them.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for staff are worth planning.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Send round an allergy question
- Give us break and shift times
- Ask staff to pre-order
We can serve each shift in turn, as agreed in advance.
Tell the team in advance: it is half the fun.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.

What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Step by step
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. A lunch-break van visit in Hailsham is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December.
