Questions from Crowhurst Lane End
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St George: can you come?
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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is Crowhurst Lane End close to London?
About 20 miles from central London.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Generally, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
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.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
About our party fish and chip van in Crowhurst Lane End
The van can park on a drive, a hardstanding or a firm lawn, with the serving hatch towards the garden. We are frequently asked to cater naming days and christenings and big birthdays, serving mushy peas, gravy and haddock and chips.
In a small place like Crowhurst Lane End, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your party, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
- A picture of the parking spot helps

With children, food about an hour in works well.
Plan cover in case of showers.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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 is fried on the spot.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. Sunset in Crowhurst Lane End drops to about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December, so think about lighting by the van.
- It starts with your date, address and numbers.

Preparing for the day
