Common questions in Swaile's Green
Can the van go 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.
We’re gathering after a service at St Marks Staplecross: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you need power or water from us?
A suitable spot for the van, mainly. Tell us what’s available and we will take it from there.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Can you park at our house?
Generally, if the drive is level and firm and the van can get in. Send a picture of the drive and the way in.
Is there a kids’ option?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include them in your numbers.
About the food
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
For event organisers in Swaile's Green
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Swaile's Green?
A buffet is easy but forgettable. The van becomes part of the party. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.
