FAQs for Punnett's Town
Do you come out to small places like Punnett's Town?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you come to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, East Sussex included. Find your area.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
What do you need on the pitch?
A firm pitch with space for a queue. Tell us about power and water.
Do you pay a pitch fee?
It depends on the event: a pitch fee, a share of takings or a guaranteed minimum. We’ll agree it in writing.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce and it’s on the menu.
How it works
You do not need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your event. We handle the cooking and serving. For an evening event in Punnett's Town, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.

- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.

Before we arrive

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
