Crowhurst: your questions answered
How far is Crowhurst from London?
About 50 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Crowhurst?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Do you do Christmas markets?
Yes, it is a popular stall. Send us the details.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.

Planning help
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- Choose a lit spot for the van
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
A gazebo or covered doorway near the hatch helps on a wet night.
A bit of festive music by the van helps.
