Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
- Arrange an alternative if needed
With children, food about an hour in works well, before the cake.
A sign by the hatch with the menu speeds things up.
How it works
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Guests normally gather round the hatch as soon as we open. Midsummer parties in Slinfold stay bright until about 9:20pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:05pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you’re eating late.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Plan where the queue will stand

For planners, venues and organisers

Slinfold questions
How far is Slinfold from London?
About 33 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the van park in Farlington Strood Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
Do you do street parties?
Yes, where the council allows it. Check your council’s rules on road closures and vehicles early.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information.
Can the van park on my drive?
That depends on the space and the route in. Mention anything tight, and we will tell you honestly.
What can guests choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A venue plus caterer can be expensive. With a van, home becomes the venue. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your party is.
What you get with us
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- A menu almost everyone likes
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- We cover Slinfold and the whole of West Sussex
