Codmore Hill questions
Which station is closest to Codmore Hill?
Pulborough station, about 1.2 miles south-west of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Codmore Hill?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
Do you do evening food for weddings?
Yes, that is what most couples book us for. We will fit around your first dance and band.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
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.
Working with your venue
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.

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’s crisp when it reaches you.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
