About the food
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and it’s a favourite with children.
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce and it is on the menu.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Questions from Lordington
Can you serve after a service at Racton Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Can you come to the house?
Often, yes. Tell us about parking at the house.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is typically simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How the day works
Changes on the day are fine: we’ll adjust start times and pace to suit your wake. In autumn and winter, it’s dark early in Lordington; ensure older guests have a well-lit route to the van.
- First, tell us about your wake.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for family and friends.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
How to prepare
- Share the timings for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
