What else we do in Fittleworth
Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
At larger events, a van adds to the mix and spreads the queues. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.
Why us?
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- We cover Fittleworth and the whole of West Sussex
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
How it works
We work to your timings. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. At midsummer, events in Fittleworth stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Share the timings for the day
