DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Organising for someone else?
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.

The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Count children separately
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
We park on the agreed spot and set up, and serve as the party carries on.
A gazebo by the hatch keeps the queue dry.
Sayers Common: your questions answered
How far is Sayers Common from London?
Roughly 38 miles from the centre of London.
Which station is closest to Sayers Common?
The closest is Hassocks station, roughly 2.9 miles away.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.
How early do summer dates go?
As early as you can for summer weekends. Ask about your date.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Normally, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
