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.

Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Questions from Rusper

Which station is closest to Rusper?

Faygate station, about 1.8 miles south of the centre.

Do you come to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?

Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.

Can the van park on the street?

Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.

Do you have allergen information?

Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information.

How fast is service?

A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.

Can we pay by invoice?

We will talk you through booking and payment for businesses.

Who clears up?

We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.

Do we need to provide anything?

Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.

Organising for someone else?

If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.

Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

Rusper for staff days and team lunches

Rusper is about 4 miles west of Crawley, in West Sussex. Rusper is well within our area, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. Rusper is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex where we bring the van. Our bookings stretch from Rusper to Guildford (about 15 miles away).

Rusper is about 27 miles from central London, well within our area. With the Surrey Hills National Landscape within about 6 miles, rural team days are easy to arrange.

The menu, dish by dish

Haddock and chips

Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.

Mushy peas

Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.

What the van needs

We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:

  • A lit spot if service runs after dark
  • Space for people to queue at the hatch
  • Confirmation that the van can park there

Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we serve

  • Staff lunches
  • Pie and chips
  • Sausage and chips
  • Cod and chips
  • Haddock and chips
  • Mushy peas

What a fish and chip van costs

Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:

  • Any minimum charge
  • Distance and any road charges
  • The day of the week
  • How many people are eating

Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.

Details that help

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:

  • Rough numbers for adults and children
  • Any dietary needs and allergies
  • The date and when you’d like to eat
  • Where the event is

Still finalising the details? That is fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. To start, use our quote form.

The process

Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Staff will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Lunchtime staff treats in Rusper are in daylight all year round, but later events need lighting: it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December.

  1. Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
  2. A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
  3. A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
  4. We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
  5. Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

Before we arrive

  • Have a level parking spot ready
  • Share the timings for the day
  • Plan where the queue will stand

Looking after everyone

Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:

  • Consider a pre-order list
  • Send allergies to us in writing
  • Have a back-up for special diets
  • Ask facilities about access

Put bins near the hatch.

Tell the team in advance: it is half the fun.

  • 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
