Dallington: your questions answered
Is Dallington close to London?
About 43 miles from central London, and well within our area.
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 will work to whatever the site needs.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
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.
Do you do crew food?
Yes, at a time that suits your schedule.
Can the van come to Dallington?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Dallington is within our area and the rest of East Sussex. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
