About the food

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
FAQs for Berwick
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Berwick?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
Can the van come to our fair?
Frequently, yes. Get in touch with the details.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
