How the day works

The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. At midsummer, it’s light in Crumbles until about 9:15pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.

Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

Preparing for the day

Let us know the serving time
Plan where the queue will stand

Show us where the van would go
Tell us how many children are coming
Have a back-up for special diets
Send allergies to us in writing

It is worth telling the neighbours.

A few lights around the van look great.

Space, access and the venue

We’ll be honest if a spot will not work, and help find another. What matters most:

Confirmation that the van can park there
A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn

Parties in Crumbles: homes, halls and local tips

Crumbles is about 2 miles east of Eastbourne, in East Sussex. We serve parties at drives, car parks, yards and venues around Crumbles. Crumbles is one of 289 towns and villages in East Sussex where we bring the van. Our bookings stretch from Crumbles to Brighton (20 miles away).

After a christening at a church like St. Richard, a chip van at home is an easy way to feed family and friends. For guests coming by train, Pevensey & Westham station, about 1.3 miles north, is the nearest station. Crumbles is within about 8 miles of the South Downs National Park, so many gardens around here have a great outlook. The coast is within about 3 miles, so a chip van is a natural choice.

We take the van to parties all over BN23. Local streets include Tambora Square, Long Beach View and Golden Gate Way; a party on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. We also bring the van to parties in Langney (1 mile west), Pevensey Bay (1 mile north-east), Pevensey (2 miles north), Westham (2 miles north-west) and Stone Cross (2 miles north-west).

Local schools include The Haven Voluntary Aided CofE/Methodist Primary School (0.8 miles south-west)

Takeaway run or book a van?

A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the party.

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 typically simpler.

Crumbles: your questions answered

Is Crumbles close to London?

About 52 miles from central London.

Do you come out to small places like Crumbles?

No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.

Do you take everything away?

We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.

Can the van park on the street?

It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.

Do you do street parties?

Yes, once the council has agreed the closure. Mention the van in your application.

What does the van need?

Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.

Do you have allergen information?

Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item.

What’s on the menu?

Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.

For planners, venues and organisers

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.

If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
