Jenkins' Green: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Jenkins' Green?
Pevensey & Westham station, about 1.1 miles south-east of the centre.
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.
What paperwork do you provide?
Every production asks for different things, so ask your production office for the list and we’ll go through it.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac crew in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for crew are worth planning.
What happens on the day
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your crew, and we agree exactly where before the day. Light in Jenkins' Green lasts until about 9:15pm at midsummer; for early or late service, base needs lighting.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Ensure the van can get in
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The number of meals
- The minimum booking
- The day of the week
- Cod, haddock or both
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
What we need to know
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Where the van would park
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The address or venue name
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Access checked by locations
- The location’s agreement
- Room for the crew to queue
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
