Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Broomer's Corner
Do you come 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.
Is Broomer's Corner close to London?
About 38 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Can you work to the call sheet?
We can. Tell us the lunch time and a contact on the day, and we’ll adjust where possible.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Looking after everyone
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Name a contact in the production office
- Confirm numbers the day before
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Share the base location and route
Tell us if supporting artists are eating.
A gazebo by the van keeps the line dry.
Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
What the van needs
If a spot is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- A hardstanding spot at the unit base
- Agreement from the location manager and landowner
- Lighting for early or late service
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we serve
- Sausage and chips
- Crew lunches
