Our booking checklist

Organising for someone else?

For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.

Step by step

Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. At midsummer, events in Warbleton stay light until about 9:15pm, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.

  1. Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
  2. Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
  3. A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
  4. We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
  5. Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

Preparing for the day

  • Plan where the queue will stand
  • Share the timings for the day
  • Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.

How far is Warbleton from London?

Roughly 42 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.

What if we only have street parking?

It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.

When do you arrive?

We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.

Can the van come to Warbleton?

Yes, we do. Warbleton is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.

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 everything cooked fresh?

Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

Do you do festivals?

Send us the event details, dates and pitch information and we will let you know if we are available.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
  • Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
  • The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
  • Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
