15 questions to ask before booking

Should I sort the food myself?

Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.

Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Shipton Green: your questions answered

Can you serve after a service at St Nicholas' Church?

Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.

How far is Shipton Green from London?

About 59 miles from central London.

Do you need power or water from us?

Tell us what’s available at the address when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.

Do you have a kids’ option?

Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.

How early do summer dates go?

Summer Saturdays book up first, so ask early.

Can you park on the road outside?

Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.

Is there a non-fish option?

Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.

Can the van come to Shipton Green?

Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Shipton Green and the rest of West Sussex. To check your date, fill in our quote form.

A closer look at the menu

Haddock and chips

Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.

Gravy

A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.

How it works

Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. Afterwards we pack up. In Shipton Green, a June party has light until about 9:20pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:05pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.

  1. Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
  2. You hear back on the date and the price.
  3. We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
  4. Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
  5. We leave the spot as we found it.

Preparing for the day

  • Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
  • Give us a contact for the day
  • Share the timings for the day
