Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.

The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce

Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order.
Questions from Polegate
What about events near the coast?
Yes. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
How far is Polegate from London?
About 49 miles from central London.
Can you come onto our site?
Often, with a level spot and the site’s agreement. We’ll agree the exact spot with you or facilities.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
Do you do customer events and open days?
Yes, and it keeps people on site longer. Send us the timings and numbers.
Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Collect allergies in advance
We can serve each shift in turn, as agreed in advance.
A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.

The process
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your staff event. For a staff lunch in Polegate, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.
