💙 A message from The Sizzling Herd

We're truly sorry, but we won't be open again tomorrow. A close family member is in hospital and Syd needs to be there with them.

We'll post another update tomorrow.

Thank you so much for understanding, and thank you for all your kindness. 💙

🚛✨ The End of an Era — And the Start of a New One! ✨🚛

(Pictured — our current kitchen, affectionately nicknamed "The Wheelbarrow" by Dad! 😂 Don't worry, we promise the new one is a significant upgrade!)

Today marked the very last day in the layby with our original Sizzling Herd kitchen — what an emotional milestone! From redundancy to this incredible journey, that little kitchen has served THOUSANDS of you and we will always be so grateful for every single memory made in it! 🥹💙

But this is not goodbye — it's a hello to something even BIGGER! 🎉

🚛 BRAND NEW KITCHEN LAUNCHING MONDAY! 🚛

We are beyond excited to announce that our brand new, much bigger kitchen officially launches this Monday! 🎉

A huge, huge thank you to my brilliant Dad, Brother, Glen and my long suffering husband Rich — you have all been absolutely instrumental in making this happen and we could not have done it without you! 💙🔧

We will be keeping our full current menu, with a few exciting extras added along the way! Thank you so much to every single one of you who has given us suggestions and input on what you'd love to see — please keep them coming, I am always up for ideas! 😊

💙 To our incredible customers 💙

I am so endlessly grateful for every single one of my regular customers. I love feeding you, I love your visits, and I genuinely love the array of t***s I get every single day — from tractors to lorries, cars to vans, and now even motorbikes! 🏍️🚛🚗🚜 You all mean the absolute world to me!

📣 Monday — Staying close to home! 📣

Monday we will be serving from the family farm at Aldingbourne Park Farm, PO18 0LJ — the kitchen is so much bigger now you really shouldn't miss us! 😄🚛

🍔🚜 What an absolutely BUSIEST week yet at The Sizzling Herd! 🚜🍔

This week has genuinely been the busiest since opening both Funtington AND Halnaker — and what a joy it has been! 💙

From tractors whizzing past for harvest, to our brilliant hungry dustmen crews, to the wonderfully hungry bouncy castle team Jumping Jacks who happily went completely "off menu" this week 😂🎪 — it has been non stop, chaotic and absolutely brilliant!

And of course a huge thank you to all of our other wonderful regulars who kept us going all week — you know who you are and we appreciate every single one of you! 💙

A special mention too to our fabulous friends at Fab Autos — always brilliant to see you and thank you for your continued support! 🚗❤️

And some of this week's incredible dishes made an appearance too — check out the video, ok there are more tractors than food, but hey, Syd couldn't make them all wait for their food to be photographed!

And who could forget the best part of any video — our gorgeous spaniels making their special guest appearance, posing after their sausage fix 🐾❤️

🚜✨ A well earned day off tomorrow! ✨🚜

Syd has an unexpected day off tomorrow! Well, sort of — the vintage tractors need a proper wash ready for Goodwood on Sunday! 😄🚜 Some things just don't stop!

📣 Back in our usual spots next week, with a special apprentice Tuesday and Wednesday, helping to take orders!
