Common questions in Silver Hill
Is Silver Hill close to London?
About 42 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station is closest to Silver Hill?
Etchingham station, about 1.4 miles west of the centre.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Residents will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Do you do residents’ portions?
We will plan portions with the home.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can the van come to Silver Hill?
We do. We serve events in Silver Hill and across East Sussex. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
A fish and chip van or other catering?

Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
How the day works
You do not need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your care home visit. The frying and serving are down to us. In Silver Hill, late spring and early autumn evenings stay light until about 8:50pm and 7:00pm; winter visits, dark by about 3:55pm, suit lunchtime.
- We start with the date, numbers and a serving time that suits the home.
- You get an access check and a clear quote.
- We agree portion sizes and any diets with your kitchen or care team.
- On the day we set up and fry fresh, serving at the agreed time.
- We clear up and leave the car park as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Where the van can park in Silver Hill
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Close to the garden or entrance
- Access the van can manage
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

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.
