FAQs for Burwash
Is Burwash too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Which station is closest to Burwash?
The closest is Stonegate station, roughly 1.8 miles away.
Can you do something for the children?
Most children go for sausage and chips. Tell us how many children to expect.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Can you park at our house?
It depends on the drive and the access. Mention anything tight, and we will advise.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.

About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.

Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
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.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- Parking and the way in
- The number of meals
- The menu and how many choices
- How far we travel
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The address or venue name
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- The date and time of the event
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, use our quote form.
Where the van can park in Burwash

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
