Roffey: your questions answered
Can you come to a school fair in Roffey?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
What’s the nearest station to Roffey?
The closest is Littlehaven station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Do you do crew food?
Yes. Give us numbers and a time.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac visitors and we’ll explain the options.
Can the van park on grass?
Usually, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including West Sussex. See all areas.

A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For a stall visitors will queue for, a fish and chip van is a great choice in Roffey. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.

Other occasions in Roffey
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Step by step
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. In Roffey, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:20pm, but by late September the light goes at about 7:05pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch
