Party fish and chip van for Lullington events
How the day works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Autumn and winter parties in Lullington get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so think about lighting by the van.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Share the timings for the day
- Ensure the van can get in
Getting a price

How our party fish and chip van works in Lullington
Sausage and chips covers the children and anyone who doesn’t want fish, so one van feeds the whole party. We are frequently asked to cater neighbourhood get-togethers and family reunions, serving haddock and chips, curry sauce and pie and chips.
Near Lullington, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll handle the rest. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Common questions in Lullington
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Which station is closest to Lullington?
The closest is Berwick (Sussex) station, roughly 2.6 miles away.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.
How early do summer dates go?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so it pays to ask early.
What can guests choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Will the van fit on our drive?
Frequently, yes, with a level drive and a clear way in. Send a picture of the drive and the way in.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
DIY versus a fish and chip 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 party.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.

- Any minimum charge

- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
