Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Framfield
Do you come 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.
How far is Framfield from London?
Roughly 38 miles from the centre of London.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, including East Sussex. Find your area.
Can you come to a school event?
Yes, with the school’s permission for the van on site. Tell us the date and where the van would park.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Can the van come to our fair?
Tell us the date and pitch details and we’ll check.
What does the pitch need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, and room for a queue. Tell us about power and water.
What are the terms for events?
We will talk it through when you send the details, and we’ll find something that works.
What happens on the day
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your event in Framfield. December events in Framfield lose the light at about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; spring events have light until about 8:50pm by late May.
- Organisers send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- You get our pitch needs and a quick answer on availability.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on the pitch.
- We trade from the hatch all event, frying to order.
- We pack down at the end and leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch

Allergies and dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Plan bins near food stalls
- Plan something for visitors we can’t cater for
- Agree how we will be paid: pitch fee, share of takings or minimum
- Plan crew and volunteer food times
When the event closes, we pack up.
Pre-selling meal tickets helps us plan.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

About the food
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Planning the van’s spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
- A wet-weather pitch on hard standing
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.
