Common questions in High Hurstwood
Which station is closest to High Hurstwood?
The closest is Buxted station, roughly 1.8 miles away.
Is High Hurstwood too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What can guests choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
When should evening food go out?
At the time you choose. Most couples go for just after the first dance.
How the day works
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Evening food at a High Hurstwood wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: about 9:15pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.

- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day

- Name one person we can call on the day

Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A spot near your guests
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
From the hatch
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
- Evening fish and chips
- Curry sauce
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
For event organisers in High Hurstwood
Organising a club, school or community event in High Hurstwood? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Late-night snacks from the venue can be small. Fish and chips fills people up. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Why us?
- Classic food your guests already know
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Something for guests to gather round
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
