About the food

Haddock and chips

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

Sausage and chips

Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.

Allergies and dietary needs

Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:

  • Have a back-up for special diets
  • Agree the van’s spot with facilities
  • Send round an allergy question
  • Flag any coeliac staff

Put bins near the hatch.

A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.

The process

The first sign we’ve arrived is normally the smell. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. Lunchtime bookings in Wadhurst are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit spot. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.

  1. Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
  2. Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
  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.

Preparing for the day

  • Let us know the serving time
  • Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
  • Ensure the van can get in

All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.

Do you have a kids’ option?

Is the food cooked at the event?

It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.

What the van needs

The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:

  • A route in without tight gates or low branches
  • A spot near your staff
  • A lit spot if service runs after dark

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
