Questions from Wadhurst
Is Wadhurst close to London?
Roughly 35 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you come to a school fair in Wadhurst?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
How big a pitch do you need?
A firm pitch with space for a queue. Tell us about power and water.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.
Do you trade at schools?
We do. We’ll agree access before the children arrive.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac visitors when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
What affects the price in Wadhurst
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- The menu and how many choices
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Any minimum charge
- The number of meals
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:

- Allergies and diets you know about
Each quote is put together for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
The process
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. Evening events in Wadhurst have light until about 9:15pm at midsummer; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Diets, allergies and planning

- Let us know about allergy rules on site
- Ask traders for allergen information to display
- Agree when volunteers will eat
- Give us an idea of numbers
We set up before visitors arrive, at the agreed time.
Tables and seating nearby help families eat.
What the van needs
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- What’s available on the pitch
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
For planners, venues and organisers

Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
