Planning a team lunch in Lower Willingdon
Lower Willingdon is about 2 miles north-west of Eastbourne, in East Sussex. From the centre of Lower Willingdon to the outskirts, the service works the same way: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. We cover all 289 towns and villages across East Sussex. We serve events right across the region, from Lower Willingdon to Brighton (17 miles away).
Lower Willingdon is about 50 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard. Nearby historic houses include Alfriston Clergy House (4 miles west) and Michelham Priory (4 miles north-west). Historic venues suit client days, but check their vehicle rules before planning a van. The South Downs National Park is within about 5 miles, which suits team days in the countryside. The coast is within about 4 miles, so a chip van lunch feels like a day at the seaside.
For staff events in BN20, BN22 and BN26, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many staff. We can serve a staff event on streets such as Freshwater Square, Willingdon Court and The Triangle, as long as there is somewhere for the van. Nearby, we also serve staff events in Willingdon (1 mile south-east), Wannock (1 mile north-west), Polegate (1 mile north), Filching (1 mile west) and Folkington (2 miles west). Further out, we also take the van to Hastings (14 miles east), Bexhill-on-Sea (10 miles east), Seaford (7 miles west), Lewes (12 miles north-west), Hailsham (4 miles north) and St Leonards (14 miles east).
Other landmarks nearby include Burlough Castle (3.5 miles west) and Filching Manor And Motor Museum (1.2 miles west). Within reach you’ll find Combe Hill.
- Local schools include Willingdon Community School (within half a mile north-west)
- Pubs nearby include The Wheatsheaf Inn (0.7 miles south)
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
