Common questions in Offington
Can you serve near the sea around Offington?
Yes, of course. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Can you serve after a service at St Andrew's Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Can the van come to Offington?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Offington and across West Sussex. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Cod or haddock?
We serve cod and haddock; tell us which you’d like for your event.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Food your guests will love
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
