Pevensey: your questions answered

What about events near the coast?

Yes. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.

Is Pevensey close to London?

Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London.

Do you do street parties?

Yes, once the council has agreed the closure. Mention the van in your application.

How far ahead should we book a party?

As early as you can for summer weekends. Ask about your date.

Can you cook in the rain?

The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.

What do you bring?

We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.

Do you fry it on site?

It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.

Is there a non-fish option?

Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.

Pevensey parties: what to know

Pevensey is about 3 miles north-east of Eastbourne, in East Sussex. Pevensey is well within our area, so your party just needs a date, a spot for the van and a serving time. Pevensey is one of 289 towns and villages in East Sussex we cover. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 20 miles away.

If guests are coming by rail, Pevensey Bay station is in Pevensey itself. Pevensey is within about 8 miles of the South Downs National Park, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop. Near the coast, within about 5 miles, a fish and chip van feels like a trip to the seaside, and we always plan for wind.

Anywhere in BN24, we can bring the van to you. Streets in the area include High Street, Church Lane and Bridge End, and the van can serve a party on any of them with a suitable parking spot. We also bring the van to parties in Pevensey Bay (1 mile south-east), Westham (1 mile west), Jenkins' Green (1 mile west), Langney (2 miles south-west) and Normans' Bay (2 miles east). Larger places within reach include Eastbourne (3 miles south-west), Hastings (10 miles east), Bexhill-on-Sea (6 miles east), Seaford (10 miles west), Lewes (15 miles west) and Hailsham (5 miles north-west).

Should I sort the food myself?

DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

What comes out of the fryer

Curry sauce

Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.

Sausage and chips

Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.

The process

We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. A summer party in Pevensey stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

  1. Send us your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check access for the van and quote.
  3. We arrive in good time to set up.
  4. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
  5. Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.

Before we arrive

  • Confirm the van is allowed on site
  • Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
  • Name one person we can call on the day

Planning for dietary needs

Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:

  • Have a back-up for special diets
  • Count children separately
  • Show us where the van would go
  • Make sure the van can park legally

We park on the agreed spot and set up, then serve as guests come up.

A gazebo by the hatch keeps the queue dry.
