What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.

Historic houses near Magham Down include Horselunges Manor (1.7 miles west) and Michelham Priory (3.5 miles south-west).

With the South Downs National Park within about 8 miles, rural team days are easy to arrange.
Wherever your staff event is in BN27, we can fry fresh for your staff, from busy streets to quiet lanes. That could mean a staff event at a home on Old Road and Nodes Lane, wherever the van can park. We also bring the van to staff events in Hellingly (1 mile west), Upper Horsebridge (1 mile west), Hailsham (2 miles south-west), Lower Horsebridge (2 miles west) and Tile Hurst (2 miles west). Larger places within reach include Eastbourne (7 miles south), Hastings (12 miles east), Bexhill-on-Sea (8 miles east), Seaford (11 miles south-west), Lewes (12 miles west) and Crowborough (13 miles north-west).

- Find out what documents the site needs
- Give us break and shift times
- Check with facilities where the van can park

Common questions in Magham Down
Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What’s the nearest station to Magham Down?
Polegate station, about 4.5 miles south-west of the centre.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
