Common questions in Roser's Cross
Do you come out to small places like Roser's Cross?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Roser's Cross?
Buxted station, about 3.7 miles north-west of the centre.
How big a pitch do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, and room for a queue. Mention any power or water.
Do you trade at schools?
Yes, once the school agrees where the van goes. Tell us the date and where the van would park.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What a fish and chip van costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The number of meals
- Parking and the way in
- Whether a minimum applies
- The date and time of year
Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The date and time of the event
- Rough numbers for adults and children
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
