Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.

The process
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch when you are ready to eat. For a staff lunch in Woodmancote, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:00pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- First, tell us about your staff event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch

Woodmancote questions
Do you come out to small places like Woodmancote?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, West Sussex included. See all areas.
What paperwork do you provide?
Every site asks for something different, so send us the list and we will confirm what we can provide.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can you invoice the company?
We will explain how it works when we quote.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Consider a pre-order list
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- Check with facilities where the van can park
When service is finished, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.
