FAQs for Strettington
Do you trade at school fairs around Strettington?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Can you serve near the sea around Strettington?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, including West Sussex. See all areas.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for visitors are worth planning.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
At bigger events, a chip van works alongside other traders and spreads the queues. The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
