Fresh fish and chips in Lullington
Funeral and wake catering in Lullington, cooked to order
We understand that timings on the day can move, and we’ll work around the service and the family. Typical bookings include a favourite meal in someone’s memory and scattering of ashes gatherings, serving sausage and chips, gravy and haddock and chips.
For a wake near Lullington, a farmhouse or village hall often works well, with the van in the yard or car park. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.

Arranging a wake in Lullington
Lullington is about 3 miles north-east of Seaford, in East Sussex. People in Lullington book us for all sorts of reasons, but the plan is always the same: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. Lullington is one of 289 places in East Sussex where we bring the van. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 13 miles away.
For a service at a church like Church of St. Andrew, choosing a wake venue nearby helps older guests. Lullington is within about a mile of the South Downs National Park; tell us about access if the wake is somewhere rural. The coast is within about 4 miles of Lullington, and for many families fish and chips brings back memories of the seaside.

If your venue is just outside Lullington, we also cover Dukes Green (1 mile south-west), Alfriston (1 mile north-west), Winton (1 mile north), Milton Street (1 mile north-east) and Wilmington (2 miles north-east).

Food your guests will love

Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:

- Keep the serving time flexible
Seats for older guests near the hall or house help.
Somewhere quiet to sit helps some guests.
For planners, venues and organisers
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.

Common questions in Lullington
We are gathering after a service at Church of St. Andrew: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you come out to small places like Lullington?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
How quickly can you come?
We understand the timescales, so ask and we’ll reply quickly.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
How the day works
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. In autumn and winter, it is dark early in Lullington; plan a lit path from the door to the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for family and friends.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A formal meal doesn’t always suit. A van keeps it relaxed. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is usually the best value.
