Questions from Itchingfield
How far is Itchingfield from London?
Roughly 34 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you trade at school fairs around Itchingfield?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Visitors will appreciate cover near the hatch.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
What do you need on the pitch?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, and room for a queue. Tell us about power and water.
Do you do school fairs and sports days?
We do. We’ll need a safe route onto the site away from children.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, including West Sussex. Find your area.
What about visitors who don’t eat fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Itchingfield?
Next to a volunteer barbecue, a van means volunteers can enjoy the day. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is often the best value.

Working with your venue
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
