Questions from Hooe Common
Could you trade in Highwoods?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you come to a school fair in Hooe Common?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Do you come to Hooe Common?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Hooe Common and across East Sussex. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
Before you choose a spot
If a spot isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you. What matters most:
- What’s available on the pitch
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
- A clear route onto the pitch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
What we serve
- Sausage and chips
- Chips
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Curry sauce
- Cod and chips
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is 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.
