Planning a party in Tortington
Tortington is about 3 miles north-west of Littlehampton, in West Sussex. Give us the address of your party in Tortington, and we’ll plan access and set-up before the day. Tortington is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex we cover. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 19 miles away.
Christenings and naming days frequently start at a local church such as St Mary Magdalene's Church, with fish and chips at home or in a hall afterwards. For guests coming by train, Ford station is in Tortington itself. Tortington is within about 6 miles of the South Downs National Park, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop. The coast is within about 3 miles, so a chip van is a natural choice.
Wherever your party is in BN18, we can fry fresh for your guests. That could mean a party at a home on Ford Road and Gaugemaster Way or the roads around them, wherever the van can park. If your venue is just outside Tortington, we also cover Ford (1 mile south), Lyminster (1 mile east), Arundel (1 mile north-east), Wick (2 miles south-east) and Climping (2 miles south). Further out, we also take the van to Worthing (8 miles east), Bognor Regis (6 miles south-west), Chichester (9 miles west), Selsey (12 miles south-west), Littlehampton (3 miles south-east) and Shoreham-by-Sea (13 miles east).

Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
