Our booking checklist

For event organisers in Warningcamp

Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.

The process

Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. For a summer wedding in Warningcamp, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening fish and chips is frequently served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm.

  1. You share your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check the route in and send a price.
  3. We arrive in good time to set up.
  4. Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
  5. Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.

Before we arrive

  • Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
  • Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
  • Get permission for the van from the venue

The menu, dish by dish

Mushy peas

Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.

Haddock and chips

Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.

Common questions in Warningcamp

Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?

Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.

What’s the nearest station to Warningcamp?

The closest is Arundel station, roughly 1 mile away.

What if the weather’s bad?

We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.

How far ahead should we book?

The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.

Can you serve children?

Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.

Do we need to provide anything?

Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.

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.

What’s on the menu?

The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.

What the van needs

Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:

  • Lighting nearby for evening events
  • Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
  • Access wide and high enough for the van

Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Allergies and dietary needs

Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:

  • Flag coeliac guests early
  • Plan bins by the hatch
  • Confirm the van can park at the venue
  • Give us a contact for the day who isn’t the couple

Most couples serve evening food between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done.

Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the evening photos.
