Common questions in Westergate
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What’s the nearest station to Westergate?
The closest is Barnham station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Westergate.
Is there a kids’ option?
Of course. Children typically love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Before you choose a spot
If a spot is not suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Lighting nearby for evening events
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
