- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- The site’s agreement to a catering van

Common questions in Westmeston
How far is Westmeston from London?
Roughly 41 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Westmeston too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Where will the van go on our site?
Generally, if there’s a level spot and the site allows it. We will agree the exact spot with you or facilities.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
About the food
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Who books corporate fish and chip catering in Westmeston?
Hot food in the car park, rain or shine, because the cooking is inside the van.
