Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in West Grinstead
We’re gathering after a service at Shrine Church of Our Lady of Consolation and St Francis: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you come out to small places like West Grinstead?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Step by step
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. Autumn and winter parties in West Grinstead get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so think about lighting by the van.
