What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.

Space, access and the venue
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:

- A clear route to base
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

What happens on the day
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. In December, daylight in Cocking Causeway ends around 4:00pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Keep space clear for crew at the hatch

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

For shoots in GU29, we just need to know where the van can park and a serving time.

Common questions in Cocking Causeway
Is Cocking Causeway close to London?
About 46 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
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.
What if lunch moves?
We expect changes. Keep us updated and we will adapt.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
Do you cater wrap parties?
Yes, it’s a popular wrap. Tell us the details.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac crew when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
