Questions from Mott's Mill
What’s the nearest station to Mott's Mill?
Eridge station, about 1.3 miles east of the centre.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Thomas the Apostle?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Can the van park on grass?
Usually, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What does the van need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Mott's Mill.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
How the day works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. In Mott's Mill, a June party has light until about 9:20pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:05pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you’re eating late.
- First, tell us about your party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Clear the route for the van
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Planning a party in Mott's Mill
Mott's Mill is about 3 miles north of Crowborough, in Kent. We cover Mott's Mill as standard, so your party just needs a date, a spot for the van and a serving time. Mott's Mill is one of 922 places in Kent where we bring the van. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 22 miles away.
After a christening at a church like Church of St Thomas the Apostle, a chip van at home is an easy way to feed family and friends. Historic houses near Mott's Mill include Groombridge Place (1.6 miles north-east) and Bassetts Manor (3.7 miles north-west). Grand settings like these frequently have strict rules on vehicles and caterers, so for most parties a home or hired hall is simpler.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
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. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A takeaway order for a party takes ages and arrives lukewarm. The van cooks right there. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
