Warninglid questions
Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Which station is closest to Warninglid?
Balcombe station, about 3.6 miles north-east of the centre.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we will explain the options.
What paperwork do you provide?
Tell us what your site needs when you enquire, and we will confirm what we can provide.

How the day works
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. Staff will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. A lunch-break van visit in Warninglid is always in daylight, but evening events need lights from about 3:55pm in December or 7:05pm in late September.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Preparing for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

Planning help
Looking after everyone
Most events have a few staff with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Share the shift pattern
- Check with facilities where the van can park
- Let us know about coeliac disease
A quick message to staff when the van opens helps, and stagger departments if you can.
A pre-order list speeds things up and helps with allergies.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Numbers
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Your choice of menu
- Parking and the way in
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- The address or venue name
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A picture of where the van would go
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat, and you will get a clear price. To get started, use our quote form.
The menu, dish by dish
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
