Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in High Hurstwood
Do you come out to small places like High Hurstwood?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What’s the nearest station to High Hurstwood?
Buxted station, about 1.8 miles south of the centre.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
What do you need on the pitch?
Send us the pitch details, and we’ll check it works.
What can visitors choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can the van come to our fair?
Often, yes. Contact us with the details.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
- A queue area clear of rides and games
- Details of any power or water on site
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

A closer look at the menu
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there is pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
How we price a fish and chip van for your event
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Numbers
- How long we serve
- How easy the site is to reach
- The date and time of year

- The date and when you’d like to eat
