Running an event in Litlington
Litlington is about 3 miles north-east of Seaford, in East Sussex. For events in Litlington, we plan around your venue and timings: a clear quote, an agreed spot for the van and food fried fresh on the day. Litlington is one of 289 places in East Sussex where we bring the van. You can also see our page for Brighton, about 13 miles away.
Running a fête for a church like The Parish Church of St Michael the Archangel? A chip van draws people in. School fairs, for a school like Alfriston School, are a natural fit for a fish and chip van. Within about a mile is the South Downs National Park, where events may have extra rules on vehicles and waste; we will follow the site’s requirements. With the sea within about 4 miles, we plan shelter from the wind for coastal events, and fish and chips sells well by the sea.
We serve events across BN26. Streets in the area include The Street, Clapham Lane and Litlington Road, and the van can serve an event on any of them with a suitable parking spot. Other places close to Litlington we cover include Lullington (1 mile north), Dukes Green (1 mile west), Alfriston (1 mile north), Winton (1 mile north) and Milton Street (1 mile north-east).

The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- Information about power and water
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

- Cod and chips

Litlington: your questions answered
How far is Litlington from London?
About 50 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to Litlington?
The closest is Berwick (Sussex) station, roughly 2.9 miles away.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Can you feed our volunteers and crew?
Yes, alongside public trading or on its own.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for visitors are worth planning.
Can you come to a school event?
Yes, with the school’s permission for the van on site. Send us the date and the spot.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Visitors will appreciate cover near the hatch.

The process
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. Winter fairs in Litlington are dark by about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; spring events have light until about 8:50pm by late May.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Let us know the serving time
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
At a small fête, one good trader may be all you need, with cakes and teas alongside. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
Why book with us
- A menu almost everyone likes
- Events in Litlington and across East Sussex
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
