Common questions in Chiddingly
How far is Chiddingly from London?
About 43 miles from central London.
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.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What do you need on the pitch?
Send us the pitch details, and we’ll confirm.
What can visitors choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Space, access and the venue
We will be honest if a spot won’t work, and help find another. The main points are:
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
- Somewhere firm if it rains
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
How the day works
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Evening events in Chiddingly have light until about 9:15pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- It starts with your event and pitch details.
- We confirm availability, our pitch needs and anything the event asks for.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on the pitch.
- We fry to order and serve from the hatch through the event.
- At the end, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

Why book with us
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- Quick service from the hatch
- A menu almost everyone likes

Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
