Sandy Cross questions
We are gathering after a service at St Richards Church: 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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you come to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you do street parties?
Frequently, yes. Start the road closure application early.
Do you need power or water from us?
Mostly just a good parking spot. Mention power and water and we will confirm the rest.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Sandy Cross?
A hog roast is one dish, while a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is often the best value.

- A picture of the parking spot helps
We arrive, park up and heat the fryers, then serve as guests come up.

Comparing caterers
- A clear list of what’s included
- How many hours the van serves
- Whether there is a minimum
- VAT, if it applies
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
