Crowhurst: your questions answered
Can you serve after a service at The Parish Church of St George?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you serve near the sea around Crowhurst?
Yes. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Can the van come to Crowhurst?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Crowhurst and the rest of East Sussex. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
How the day works
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, timed around your event. Evenings in Crowhurst stay light until about 9:15pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:00pm; after dark, the queue and the path to the van need good lighting.

- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day, we park on the agreed spot and set up.
- We cook to order and serve hot at the time you chose.

A fish and chip van in Crowhurst: local details
Crowhurst is about 3 miles north-west of Hastings, in East Sussex. Events in Crowhurst are planned around your venue and timings: a clear quote, an agreed spot for the van and food fried fresh on the day. Crowhurst is one of 289 places in East Sussex where we bring the van. You can also see our page for Brighton, about 28 miles away.
After a service at The Parish Church of St George, the van can be waiting at a nearby hall or house. If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like Crowhurst CofE Primary School, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. The coast is within about 5 miles of Crowhurst, and fish and chips always feels right near the sea. On windy days, we plan a sheltered side for the queue.
Here we cover the TN33 postcode area. Streets in the area include Station Road, Craig Close and Old Forewood Lane, and the van can serve an event on any of them with a suitable parking spot. Nearby, we also serve events in Green Street (1 mile south-east), Hollington (2 miles south-east), Baldslow (2 miles east), Silverhill (3 miles south-east) and Bulverhythe (3 miles south).

Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
- Give us separate numbers for children
Fish and chips is best eaten right away, so we fry to order as the queue moves.
A chalkboard by the hatch with the menu keeps the queue moving.
