FAQs for Tile Hurst
What’s the nearest station to Tile Hurst?
The closest is Polegate station, roughly 3.4 miles away.
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Children generally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

A chip van compared with other options
A hog roast is a classic for weddings, but it’s one dish, and some guests don’t eat pork. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
What you get with us
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Classic food your guests already know
- Hot food handed straight over
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
