Fish and chip van hire in Lunsford's Cross, fried fresh
Because the cooking is in the van, the weather does not stop us. It is a dependable choice for events in any season. For garden get-togethers and weddings, especially the evening, we can cook haddock and chips, cod and chips and curry sauce.
In a small place like Lunsford's Cross, the van frequently parks on a farm track, a field or a drive. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, dry ground is the key. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
A plated meal needs a kitchen, more staff and generally costs more per head. A van needs only a level spot and permission to park. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.

How it works
Changes on the day are fine: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your event. By late September, sunset in Lunsford's Cross is around 7:00pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the queue.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

FAQs for Lunsford's Cross
How far is Lunsford's Cross from London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London.
What’s the nearest station to Lunsford's Cross?
The closest is Collington station, roughly 2.3 miles away.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Do you come to Lunsford's Cross?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Lunsford's Cross and across East Sussex. Send us your date to check availability.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
