FAQs for West Lavington
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.
We are gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St Mary Magdalene: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, West Sussex included. Find your area.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Can you come to a street party?
Yes, with the council’s permission for the road closure. Tell the council about the van.
Can the van park on my drive?
That depends on the space and the route in. Mention anything tight, and we’ll advise.

West Lavington parties: what to know
West Lavington is about 9 miles east of Petersfield, in West Sussex. We cover West Lavington as standard, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. West Lavington is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex where we bring the van. Our nearest city page is Guildford, about 20 miles away.
A christening at The Parish Church of St Mary Magdalene followed by fish and chips on the drive is a simple, popular plan. The South Downs National Park is within about a mile of West Lavington, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.
For parties in GU29, we just need to know where the van can park. From Church Road, Selham Road and Highstanding Lane or anywhere nearby, we can park up and fry there. For parties just outside West Lavington, we cover Midhurst (1 mile west), Cocking Causeway (1 mile south-west), Easebourne (1 mile north), Bepton Common (1 mile west) and Heyshott Green (1 mile south). Further out, we also take the van to Bognor Regis (13 miles south), Chichester (10 miles south), Littlehampton (14 miles south-east), Emsworth (13 miles south-west), Rustington (15 miles south-east) and Storrington (13 miles east).

What affects the price in West Lavington
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- The date and time of year
- Access and parking
- How far we travel
- How many people are eating
Larger groups generally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where the van would park
- Expected numbers
- A picture of where the van would go
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will come back with a clear quote.
Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.

The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.

- You get an access check and a clear price.
- On the day, we park up and get the fryers going.
- Guests come up to the hatch and we fry to order.
