The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and children love it.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
Where the van can park in Woolbeding
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A hardstanding spot at the unit base
- Far enough from set to keep noise down
- Light near the van if needed
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
Popular choices

For planners, venues and organisers
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Woolbeding: your questions answered
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’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Woolbeding close to London?
About 45 miles from central London.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac crew in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Woolbeding.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Do you do wrap parties?
Yes, and crews love it. Tell us the details.
Can you work to the call sheet?
We can. Tell us the lunch time and a contact on the day, and we’ll adjust where possible.
Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Tell us about coeliac crew specifically
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Add an allergy question to crew forms
We set up at the unit base ahead of lunch.
A dining area at base helps.
