Turners Hill: your questions answered
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Leonard: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
What’s the nearest station to Turners Hill?
East Grinstead station, about 3.3 miles north-east of the centre.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is usually simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.

Many couples love having it in the photos. If you’d rather not, we will park out of shot where possible.

A closer look at the menu
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.

The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- The menu and how many choices
- Travel, tolls and road charges

Step by step
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. For a summer wedding in Turners Hill, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm 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’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Formal evening food costs more and slows the party down. Fish and chips from the hatch keeps it informal. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.
