Questions from Ticehurst
Which station is closest to Ticehurst?
The closest is Stonegate station, roughly 2.7 miles away.
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 the van park on the street?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Can the van park on grass?
Typically, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Is fish and chips enough as a meal?
Yes. A portion of fish, chips and peas is a proper meal, and you can add your own cake or desserts.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service

Working with your venue
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.

What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
How the day works
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Evening events need a little planning for light: around Ticehurst, it stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Tell us when you want to eat
How to get a price
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.

A fish and chip van or other catering?

Why book with us
