Questions from Cowfold
Is Cowfold close to London?
Roughly 36 miles from the centre of London.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Peter: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before booking.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
The process
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. At midsummer, it’s light in Cowfold until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Let us know the serving time
- Give us a contact for the day

Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the party.
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.
About the food
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it is hot, crisp and generous.
