Questions from Kingston near Lewes
Is Kingston near Lewes too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What about events near the coast?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Planning the van’s spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

- The minimum booking
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Expected numbers
- Where you’d like the van to go

Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
- Fewer choices mean faster service
- Count children separately
You shouldn’t have to worry about the food on the day. We arrive in good time, set up, cook and serve, and keep in touch with you about timings.
Let everyone know when the food is ready.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
What comes out of the fryer
