What happens on the day
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your guests can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. In winter, it’s dark in Kent Street by about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting near the van. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.

About the food
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and it is a favourite with children.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Kent Street questions
Do you come out to small places like Kent Street?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is Kent Street from London?
About 49 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come to Kent Street?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Kent Street and across East Sussex. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.

Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Check the hall or venue allows a catering van
- Cater for a few more than you expect
- Have chairs for those who need them
- Build in time for delays
Ensure older relatives can sit to eat.
A favourite cake can be a lovely touch.
Planning the van’s spot
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A clear area by the serving hatch
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
