FAQs for Sturry
Can you serve near the sea around Sturry?
Yes, of course. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
What’s the nearest station to Sturry?
Sturry station, in Sturry itself.
Do you cover Sturry?
Yes, we do. Sturry is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.

Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Getting an accurate quote
These details help us quote quickly:
- Your date and serving time
- Expected numbers
- The address or venue name
- Where the van would park
Still finalising the details? That’s fine: tell us the basics about your staff event, and we will firm it up nearer the time. To start, fill in our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
How it works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. A lunch-break van visit in Sturry is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it’s dark by about 3:50pm in December.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Give us a contact for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
