A chip van near Crowhurst
What happens on the day
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. For a summer wedding in Crowhurst, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.

Questions from Crowhurst
Do you come out to small places like Crowhurst?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Which station is closest to Crowhurst?
Crowhurst has its own station: Crowhurst station.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
How much space do you 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 photo.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Where the van can park in Crowhurst
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
What we serve
- Curry sauce
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Evening fish and chips
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How far we travel
- The date and time of year
- Access and parking
- The number of meals
Larger groups normally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Where the event is
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Your date and serving time
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and you will get a clear price. Just fill in our quote form.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
