FAQs for Sompting
How far is Sompting from London?
About 47 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the van park in Brooklands Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you have documents for our site?
Sites vary, so send us the list and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
Can the van come to our open day?
Yes, it’s a great draw. Send us the timings and numbers.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
The process
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and get on with frying and serving. In Sompting, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Clear the route for the van
- Let us know the serving time
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Other occasions in Sompting
Food your guests will love
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the staff event.

- Whether a minimum applies

- How easy the site is to reach
- Distance and any road charges
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your staff event.
