Questions from Branbridges
Which station is closest to Branbridges?
Beltring station, about 0.5 miles south-east of the centre.
Is Branbridges too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
How many portions do we need?
Not every guest eats in the evening. Tell us your numbers and timings, and we will advise.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who can’t eat from the van
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
- Give us a contact for the day who isn’t the couple
Once everyone has eaten, we pack up and let the dancing carry on.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
