FAQs for Punnett's Town
Do you come to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Do you come out to small places like Punnett's Town?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Do we need to provide anything?
Mostly just a good parking spot. Mention power and water and we will confirm the rest.
Can the van come to Punnett's Town?
We do. Punnett's Town is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Can you park at our house?
Generally, if the drive is level and firm and the van can get in. Send us a photo and tell us about gates and branches.
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 do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.

- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto

- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Food your guests will love
Cod and chips

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
