Near Avisford, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

Questions from Avisford
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
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 work to whatever the site needs.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Do you do wrap parties?
Yes, and crews love it. Tell us the details.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
How much does a fish and chip van for the crew cost in Avisford?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
What will the production need?
Every production asks for different things, so send us the list.

- Anything awkward about the way in
- Your date and serving time
- A picture of the parking spot
- Where you’d like the van to go
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, fill in our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Update numbers if they change
- Agree how the base is left
- Flag any coeliac crew
We set up at the unit base ahead of lunch.
A dining area at base helps.
The process
Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Long summer days in Avisford, with light until about 9:20pm, suit evening wraps outdoors.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Keep space clear for crew at the hatch
Ask for a quote
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you’re ready, send us your details through our quote form.
