What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
How it works
Your timings come first. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. Lunchtime bookings in High Cross are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:15pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

If a spot isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you. What matters most:

DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. 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: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
For event organisers in High Cross
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.

High Cross: your questions answered
Do you come to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Is High Cross close to London?
About 35 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children typically love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Where will the van go on our site?
Often, with a level spot and the site’s agreement. Facilities will decide the spot.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac staff in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
For a thank-you that lands, a fish and chip van is a great choice. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.
