Looking after everyone
Most events have a few staff with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Collect allergies in advance
- Put allergy details in writing
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Ask staff to pre-order
We get there ahead of the lunch break, so we are ready when the first group comes out.
Somewhere to sit outside helps.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
With a barbecue, somebody ends up at the grill. With a van, everyone gets a break. Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.
Why book with us
- Something for staff to gather round

FAQs for Penhurst
Which station is closest to Penhurst?
The closest is Battle station, roughly 3.8 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Penhurst?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Can the van come to our open day?
Yes. A chip van gives visitors something to queue for and talk about.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we’ll explain the options.

Yes, if we know the times. We’ll plan it with you.
Can you come onto our site?
That is up to your site, but car parks and yards usually work well.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?

DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
