FAQs for Flimwell
Which station is closest to Flimwell?
The closest is Etchingham station, roughly 3 miles away.
We’re gathering after a service at St Augustine's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Will the van be in our photos?
Often, yes, and it makes a fun photo. Add bunting or lights for the photos.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
Normally most, not all. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Where the van can park in Flimwell
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
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.
Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it is on the menu.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.

Step by step
Changes on the day are fine: we can start a little later or slow the pace. For a summer wedding in Flimwell, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
