Questions from Wanshurst Green
What’s the nearest station to Wanshurst Green?
The closest is Marden station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
Is Wanshurst Green close to London?
Roughly 35 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What can visitors choose from?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Do you do crew food?
Yes, at a time that suits your schedule.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What are the terms for events?
It depends on the event: a pitch fee, a share of takings or a guaranteed minimum. We will agree it in writing.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Organising for someone else?
Hosting at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Space, access and the venue
If a spot is not suitable, we will tell you. The main points are:
- Information about power and water
- A wet-weather pitch on hard standing
- Space for a queue away from paths
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

How we price a fish and chip van for your event
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Numbers
- The date and time of year
- Cod, haddock or both
- How long we serve
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Anything awkward about the way in
- A picture of the space and the way in
