Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Coursehorn
Do you trade at school fairs around Coursehorn?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Can the van go to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
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.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac visitors and we’ll explain the options before you book.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Do you come to Coursehorn?
We do. Coursehorn is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
How it works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your visitors, and we agree exactly where before the day. Winter fairs in Coursehorn are dark by about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; spring events have light until about 8:50pm by late May.
- It starts with your event and pitch details.
- You get our pitch needs and a quick answer on availability.
- We set up before the gates open.
- We cook fresh and serve through the day.
- At the end, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Share the timings for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Ensure allergen information is available
- Agree the terms in writing
- Tell us expected visitor numbers
- Agree when volunteers will eat
If we’re feeding volunteers, agree a time that suits the schedule.
Pre-sold meal tickets can help at fundraisers.
