How the day works
Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Around midsummer it stays light in Broomer's Corner until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Share the timings for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Barbecues cook in batches, and someone has to stand over the grill. With a van, the host gets to enjoy the day. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your event.

Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
What the van needs
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A short walk from the party
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Access wide and high enough for the van
