How the day works
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we are hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. Summer events in Plumpton Green have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.

What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips

- Somewhere firm if it rains
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch

Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
Common questions in Plumpton Green
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Do you trade at school fairs around Plumpton Green?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
What does the van need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can you come to a school event?
We do. We’ll need a safe route onto the site away from children.
Do you cover Plumpton Green?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Plumpton Green. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
