The menu, dish by dish

Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.

Netherfield questions
Is Netherfield close to London?
About 45 miles from central London.
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’ll follow the site rules.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Do you cater wrap parties?
Yes. A chip van suits a relaxed wrap party.
Can you feed supporting artists too?
Yes, if they’re in your numbers. Tell us the day before.
Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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.
