How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Standen

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Standen
Do you come out to small places like Standen?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the van go to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Where will the van go on our site?
Usually, if there is a level spot and the site allows it. We will agree the exact spot with you or facilities.
Do you cover Standen?
We do. Standen is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
