Four Throws: your questions answered

Yes, it is a popular stall. Send us the details.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.

Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Four Throws
The van parks outside and serves hot food, without anyone leaving site. Whether it is boxing Day and New Year gatherings and warehouse and depot Christmas lunches, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips.
In winter near Four Throws, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it is ready.
What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it is served. In December, it’s dark in Four Throws by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Working with your venue
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
Festive bookings around Four Throws
Four Throws is about 12 miles north of Hastings, in Kent. We park up at drives, car parks, yards and venues around Four Throws and nearby villages. Four Throws is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. Our bookings stretch from Four Throws to Canterbury (about 29 miles away).
If you are organising a Christmas fair for a school like Hawkhurst Church of England Primary School, hot fish and chips goes down well. A Christmas fair at Church of All Saints is just the kind of event a chip van suits. Four Throws is within about 4 miles of the High Weald National Landscape, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route.
We serve Christmas parties across TN18 and the streets around it. That could mean a Christmas party at a home on Rye Road, Foxhole Lane and Conghurst Lane, as long as there’s somewhere for the van. For Christmas parties just outside Four Throws, we cover Little Conghurst (1 mile south-west), Pipsden (1 mile north-west), Hawkhurst (1 mile north-west), The Moor (1 mile west) and Sandhurst Cross (1 mile south-east).

- Local pubs include Oak And Ivy Public House (under half a mile north-west)
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
