Crossbush: your questions answered
Is Crossbush close to London?
About 49 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Crossbush?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Do you come to Crossbush?
We do. Crossbush is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Count suppliers working late
It’s kind to include suppliers working late when you give us numbers.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it’s pork only. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.
Why book with us
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- No surprises in your quote
Step by step

At midsummer, sunset in Crossbush is about 9:20pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
