Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Rose Hill
Is Rose Hill close to London?
Roughly 40 miles from the centre of London.
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.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your crew, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for crew.
What will the production need?
Tell us what the production needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Can you adjust to schedule changes?
Schedules move, and we plan for it. Keep us updated and we will adapt.
Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
