How our party fish and chip van works in Bulverhythe

You do not need to hire a hall: the van makes your home the party venue. We’re frequently asked to cater retirement celebrations and kids’ birthday parties, serving haddock and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips.

A country party near Bulverhythe is perfect for fish and chips: cooked to order and eaten on the lawn. Have a firm back-up spot for wet weather. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your party, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Choosing a fish and chip van

Bulverhythe parties: what to know

Bulverhythe is about 1 mile west of St Leonards, in East Sussex. For a party in Bulverhythe, the van can park on drives, in car parks and yards, and on firm lawns and fields in and around Bulverhythe. Bulverhythe is one of 289 places in East Sussex where we bring the van. You can also see our page for Brighton, about 29 miles away.

Guests arriving by train should know that West St Leonards station is about 0.8 miles away. Thinking of using Filsham Reedbed?

Near the coast, within about 3 miles, a fish and chip van feels like a trip to the seaside, and we always plan for wind.

Whether your party is on Haven Road, Bexhill Road and Arnside Road or anywhere nearby, we can park up and fry there. Close by, we cover parties in St Leonards (1 mile east), Silverhill (2 miles north-east), Hollington (2 miles north-east), Green Street (2 miles north) and Hastings (2 miles north-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Eastbourne (11 miles south-west), Hailsham (12 miles west), Polegate (12 miles west), Hastings Old Town (3 miles east), Old Town (12 miles south-west) and Belmont (3 miles east).

Nearby you’ll also find Hastings Castle (2.7 miles east) and Priory Meadow Shopping Centre (2.6 miles east). The countryside around Bulverhythe includes Senlac Hill and Church Wood and Robsack Wood.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.

Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Planning for dietary needs

A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:

  • Collect allergies with your RSVPs
  • Send allergies to us in writing
  • Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
  • A picture of the parking spot helps

Put bins and napkins near the hatch.

A gazebo by the hatch keeps the queue dry.

How the day works

Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. Sunset in Bulverhythe drops to about 7:00pm by late September and 3:55pm by December, so think about lighting by the van.

  1. Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
  2. A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
  3. A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
  4. The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
  5. Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

Before we arrive

  • Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
  • Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
  • Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

Getting a price

Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
