Questions from Burgh Hill

Is Burgh Hill close to London?

Roughly 41 miles from the centre of London.

What’s the nearest station to Burgh Hill?

The closest is Etchingham station, roughly 0.7 miles away.

What do we need to supply?

Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.

Can you cook in the rain?

We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.

Is everything cooked fresh?

Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.

What can guests choose from?

Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.

How much space do you need?

Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.

How soon do we need to book?

As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.

Working with your venue

Hosting at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.

Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

About the food

Haddock and chips

Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.

Sausage and chips

A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers.

Should I sort the food myself?

A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the party.

Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.

Step by step

We arrive on time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. In Burgh Hill, a June party has light until about 9:15pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:00pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you’re eating late.

  1. Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
  2. Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
  3. A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
  4. We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
  5. Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us when you want to eat
  • Give us your final numbers and allergies
  • Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
