Lurgashall in December: what to know
Lurgashall is about 12 miles east of Petersfield, in West Sussex. People in Lurgashall book us for all sorts of reasons, but it always starts the same way: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order.

Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
How it works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. December in Lurgashall means early darkness: the light goes at about 4:00pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
How to prepare
- Clear the route for the van
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
