FAQs for Heyshott

Do you come out to small places like Heyshott?

Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?

Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.

Who clears up?

We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.

What do you bring?

The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.

What does the van need?

Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.

How long will the queue be?

A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.

Is everything cooked fresh?

Yes. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.

Do we need to provide anything?

Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.

Corporate fish and chip catering in Heyshott, fried fresh

The van parks in the car park or yard, so staff don’t have to go anywhere. We are often asked to cater warehouse, depot and site teams and project milestones, with pie and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.

Rural businesses around Heyshott can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a chip van a real treat. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Choosing a fish and chip van

How the day works

You do not need to do much on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your staff event. The frying and serving are down to us. Summer events after work in Heyshott have light until about 9:20pm; in late May it’s about 8:50pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.

  1. Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
  2. You hear back on the date and the price.
  3. We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
  4. Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
  5. We leave the spot as we found it.

Preparing for the day

  • Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
  • Make sure the van can get in
  • Keep space clear for staff at the hatch

  • Room in front of the hatch for a queue
  • Light near the van and the queue for evening service
  • A route in without tight gates or low branches

If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

About the food

Sausage and chips

A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger staff and fish-dodgers.

Gravy

Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.

Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.

What a fish and chip van costs

These are the factors that matter most:

  • Your choice of menu
  • Distance and any road charges
  • The number of meals
  • How long we serve

The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.

What to tell us

To check availability and price, we need:

  • The venue or postcode
  • Any dietary needs and allergies
  • Where you’d like the van to go
  • A picture of the space and the way in

Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

Ordering takeaway for a whole site is slow and the food arrives cold. A van fries on the spot. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your staff event.

What you get with us

  • Events in Heyshott and across West Sussex
  • All the chip-shop extras
  • Fried fresh, not kept warm
  • Rain does not stop the fryers

See our pricing or the cost guide.

Looking after everyone

Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:

  • Send round an allergy question
  • Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
  • Share the shift pattern
  • Check with facilities where the van can park

Keep the queue clear of fire exits and traffic.

A pre-order list speeds things up and helps with allergies.

  • 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
