World's End questions
What’s the nearest station to World's End?
Wivelsfield station, in World's End itself.
How far is World's End from London?
About 37 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Children generally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Fish and chip van hire in World's End, cooked to order
If the van can park there, we can fry there: a driveway, a car park, a yard or a firm field in and around World's End. We serve haddock and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for milestone birthday parties and garden parties and summer get-togethers.
A place like World's End frequently has a hall, a club or a pub car park nearby; the van can work at any of them, with permission. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
What happens on the day
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your guests can wander over to the hatch once service starts. Light matters for evening service: around World's End, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
