What else we do in Pulborough
Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the party.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A hog roast is pork only, while a chip van gives people a choice. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
Why book our van in Pulborough
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- No kitchen needed
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Classic food your guests already know

About the food
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Pulborough: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Pulborough?
The closest is Pulborough station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
We’re gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St Mary: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Children generally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Do you need power or water from us?
Let us know about power and water at the house, and we’ll say what we need.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
How early do summer dates go?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so ask early.
How it works
Here’s how the day normally runs: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. For a late-May party in Pulborough, sunset is around 8:50pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:20pm. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
