Plumpton Green questions
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 follow the site rules.
Which station is closest to Plumpton Green?
Plumpton station, in Plumpton Green itself.
Do you cater wrap parties?
Yes, it is a popular wrap. Send us the date and place.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Plumpton Green.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Can the van come to base?
Normally, if there is level, firm ground. We will agree the spot with your location manager.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac crew and we’ll explain the options before you book.
Can you feed supporting artists too?
Of course. Let us know total numbers.

Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few crew with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Add an allergy question to crew forms
- Give us a contact for call-time changes
- Send the unit base address and directions
Lunch is planned around the call sheet, and a contact keeps us updated.
A dining area at base helps.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Wrap parties add up. A van keeps it relaxed and simple. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
What you get with us
- A quote that spells everything out
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- Something for crew to gather round
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
How the day works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. Winter shoots near Plumpton Green chase the light, which goes at about 3:55pm in December, so lunch at base is frequently in daylight but a wrap meal isn’t.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Keep space clear for crew at the hatch
