Event catering near Rusher's Cross
Rusher's Cross is about 5 miles east of Crowborough, in East Sussex. Events in Rusher's Cross are planned around your venue and timings: a quote, a parking spot and fresh frying on the day. Rusher's Cross is one of 289 towns and villages in East Sussex where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Rusher's Cross to Brighton (23 miles away).
Events in parks such as Wadhurst Park need permission from the council or landowner, and the van needs a firm route onto the pitch. For a church fête or fundraiser, at a church such as The Parish Church of St John the Baptist, a chip van adds hot food to the cakes and tombola. Events in and around the High Weald National Landscape, within about 2 miles of Rusher's Cross, often have rules about vehicles, ground and waste; we will follow the site’s requirements.
For events in TN20, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many visitors. We also bring the van to events in Tidebrook (1 mile north-east), Coggins Mill (1 mile south-west), Mayfield (2 miles south-west), Mark Cross (2 miles north-west) and Argos Hill (2 miles west). Larger places within reach include Bexhill-on-Sea (15 miles south-east), Hailsham (12 miles south), Crowborough (5 miles west), Uckfield (10 miles south-west), Polegate (15 miles south) and Heathfield (5 miles south).

Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:

Bins near the van help keep the site tidy.
Plan vehicle access before visitors arrive.
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 a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
FAQs for Rusher's Cross
How far is Rusher's Cross from London?
About 36 miles from central London.
Do you come to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Do you trade at schools?
Yes, with the school’s permission for the van on site. Tell us the date and where the van would park.

What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.

A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
How it works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your visitors, which we agree with you beforehand. Winter fairs in Rusher's Cross are dark by about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; in late May there’s light until about 8:50pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
