Can you come to a school fair in Ticehurst?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Can you feed our volunteers and crew?
We can. Give us numbers and a time.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Do you come to Ticehurst?

What affects the price in Ticehurst
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The day of the week
- How long we serve
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Cod, haddock or both
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your event is.
What we need to know
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Your date and serving time
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can send us your details through our quote form.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
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 generally simpler.
The process
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can enjoy your event. Summer events in Ticehurst have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a 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.
Before we arrive
- Share the timings for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Clear the route for the van
