About the food
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Haddock and chips

Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
For planners, venues and organisers
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Questions from Hassocks
Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What’s the nearest station to Hassocks?
Hassocks has its own station: Hassocks station.
Is there something for children?

Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Staff will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, West Sussex included. See all areas.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
