Book the van in Gun Hill
Gun Hill: your questions answered
Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
How far is Gun Hill from London?
Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options before you book.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the address when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the party.

Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.

Before you choose a spot

- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Flat, firm ground for the van
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
