Party fish and chip van for your party in Wivelsfield

A country party near Wivelsfield is perfect for fish and chips: cooked to order and eaten on the lawn. Plan a firm spot in case it rains. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.

Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Wivelsfield.
Can you park at our house?
It depends on the drive and the access. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead branches, and we’ll advise.
