Common questions in Icklesham
Which station is closest to Icklesham?
Winchelsea station, about 2 miles north-east of the centre.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Can you park at our house?
That depends on the space and the route in. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead branches, and we’ll tell you honestly.
Do you cover Icklesham?
Yes, we do. Icklesham is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.

The process
You will know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first guests wander across. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. At midsummer, it is light in Icklesham until about 9:15pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get an access check and a clear price.
- On the day we arrive, park up and heat the fryers.
- We serve hot from the hatch while the party carries on.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the drive tidy.

- Share the timings for the day
