Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Broyle Side: your questions answered
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What’s the nearest station to Broyle Side?
Glynde station, about 2.9 miles south of the centre.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is usually simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before booking.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
When should evening food go out?
Generally between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance. We’ll fit your running order.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Space, access and the venue
If a spot is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Flat, firm ground for the van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

For planners, venues and organisers
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
