Choosing a fish and chip van

Hunston: your questions answered

We are gathering after a service at St Leodegar's Church: can you come?

Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.

Do you come out to small places like Hunston?

Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

How do we estimate numbers?

Start with a rough number, and we’ll plan with a little extra.

What areas do you cover?

We take the van across London and the South East, including West Sussex. Find your area.

Can the van park on grass?

That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.

Is everything cooked fresh?

Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.

Who clears up?

The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.

Is there something for children?

Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.

Looking after everyone

We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:

Let us know of any allergies
Make sure older relatives can sit
Keep the serving time flexible
Ask the venue about the van

We serve when people are ready, not to a rigid schedule.

A quiet room away from the crowd is a kindness.

How it works

You’ll know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first guests wander across. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. In winter, it’s dark in Hunston by about 4:00pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the van and the door helps. In summer, there’s daylight until about 9:20pm.

Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
We park, open the hatch and start frying for family and friends.
Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

Before we arrive

Get permission for the van from the venue
Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
