Streat questions
Is Streat close to London?
About 40 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Streat?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you pay a pitch fee?
We will talk it through when you send the details, and we’ll find something that works.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Is grass a problem?
Usually, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can you cater for helpers?
Yes, at a time that suits your schedule.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Do you come to Streat?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Streat and across West Sussex. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Where the van can park in Streat
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
- Details of any power or water on site
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto

- How easy the site is to reach
- Numbers
- The minimum booking
- Service time
Larger groups typically cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
The process
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. In Streat, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:20pm, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:05pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Tell us when you want to eat

We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, use our quote form.
