The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.

Cooper's Corner questions
Do you come to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can the van park in Collingwood Nature Reserve?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you have documents for productions?
Tell us what the production needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your crew, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Do you come to Cooper's Corner?
We do. We serve events in Cooper's Corner and across East Sussex. Send us your date to check availability.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Can you feed visitors on set?
Yes, if they’re in your numbers. Tell us the day before.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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 solves that by cooking on site.
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. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
