For planners, venues and organisers
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
How it works
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. Winter shoots near West Barnham chase the light, which goes at about 4:00pm in December.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for the crew.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Keep space clear for crew at the hatch

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
