- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.

Common questions in Woolbeding
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is Woolbeding too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van park on grass?
Generally, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Do you trade at schools?
We do. We will need a safe route onto the site away from children.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Can the van come to Woolbeding?
We do. We serve events in Woolbeding and across West Sussex. Send us your date to check availability.
What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
