What we need to know
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A photo of the parking spot
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Check with facilities where the van can park
- Confirm allergies by email
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
For shift teams, we serve in waves.
A simple pre-order helps us plan.
Organising for someone else?
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, 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.

Racton: your questions answered
How far is Racton from London?
Roughly 55 miles from the centre of London.
Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Can the van come to Racton?
We do. We serve events in Racton and across West Sussex. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
What will facilities need from you?
Send us your site’s list, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
On the menu in Racton
- Pie and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Staff lunches
How it works
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Summer events after work in Racton have light until about 9:20pm; in late May it’s about 8:55pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Should I sort the food myself?
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.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
- 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
