What else we do in Hurst Green
Takeaway run or book a van?
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 usually the easier option.
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.
Common questions in Hurst Green
Can the van go to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can you come to a school fair in Hurst Green?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
What about visitors who don’t eat fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before you book.
What does the pitch need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, and room for a queue. Tell us about power and water.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
What happens on the day
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. Winter fairs in Hurst Green are dark by about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; spring events have light until about 8:50pm by late May.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your visitors.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
Ask for a quote
Still finalising the details? That’s fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will firm it up nearer the time. Start when you are ready: send us your details through our quote form.
