Fresh fish and chips in Plumpton
How our party fish and chip van works in Plumpton
The van can park on a drive, a hardstanding or a firm lawn, with the serving hatch towards the garden. On the menu are gravy, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and we are frequently booked for birthday parties and family reunions.
In a small place like Plumpton, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.

Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Organising for someone else?
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
A venue plus caterer can be expensive. A van on the drive keeps it simple. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.

Questions from Plumpton
Can you serve after a service at The Parish Church of St Michael and All Angels?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Which station is closest to Plumpton?
Plumpton station, about 1.4 miles north of the centre.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
Can the van park on my drive?
Typically, if the drive is level and firm and the van can get in. Send a photo of the drive and the way in.
How far ahead should we book a party?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including East Sussex. Find your area.
Do you do street parties?
Yes, once the council has agreed the closure. Mention the van in your application.
Where the van can park in Plumpton
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- A spot near your guests
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Planning a party in Plumpton
Plumpton is about 4 miles north-west of Lewes, in East Sussex. We park up at homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Plumpton and the surrounding area. Plumpton is one of 289 towns and villages in East Sussex we cover. We serve events right across the region, from Plumpton to Brighton (about 6 miles away).
For guests coming by train, the nearest station is Plumpton station, about 1.4 miles north. Nearby historic houses include Anne of Cleves House (4 miles south-east). For most parties, a home or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict vehicle rules. Plumpton is within about 3 miles of the South Downs National Park, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.
We cover parties in every part of the BN7 postcode area. From Plumpton Lane and Ditchling Road or a nearby road, we can park up and fry there. For parties just outside Plumpton, we cover East Chiltington (1 mile north-east), Streat (1 mile north-west), Chiltington (2 miles north-east), Plumpton Green (2 miles north) and Cooksbridge (2 miles east).

Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
- Show us where the van would go
- Mention the van to neighbours
- Count children separately
When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
A sign by the hatch with the menu speeds things up.
How it works
Changes on the day are fine: we’ll adjust start times and pace to suit your party. A summer party in Plumpton stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
