Crosspost in December: what to know
Crosspost is about 4 miles north-west of Burgess Hill, in West Sussex. For a Christmas party in Crosspost, the van can park on drives, in car parks and yards, and on firm lawns and fields in and around Crosspost. Crosspost is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex we cover. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 11 miles away.
If you are organising a Christmas fair for a school like Bolney CofE Primary School, hot fish and chips goes down well. If a church like St Mary Magdalene's Church is running a Christmas fair, a chip van is a welcome sight on a cold evening. The South Downs National Park is within about 7 miles of Crosspost; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.
For Christmas parties in RH17, we just need to know where the van can park. We can serve a Christmas party on streets such as Cowfold Road and Chapel Road or the roads around them, wherever the van can park. If your venue is just outside Crosspost, we also cover Bolney (1 mile north-east), Twineham Green (1 mile south), Twineham (2 miles south), Wineham (2 miles south-west) and Kent Street (2 miles west). Within a short drive, we also cover Crawley (9 miles north), Horsham (7 miles north-west), Worthing (14 miles south-west), Haywards Heath (5 miles east), Burgess Hill (4 miles south-east) and East Grinstead (13 miles north-east).
A little further out are The Dene Hospital (2.5 miles south-east) and Cuckfield Museum (3.2 miles north-east). Open spaces near Crosspost include Blunts Wood and Paiges Meadow.
How the day works
Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. An afternoon Christmas party in Crosspost can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 3:55pm, so put the van where there’s good light.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Crosspost
Do you come out to small places like Crosspost?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you do work Christmas parties?
Yes, if there is a suitable spot for the van and the site allows it.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Do you cover Crosspost?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Crosspost. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
When should we book for December?
As early as possible. December weekends and Fridays are the first to go.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and children love it.
Organising for someone else?
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Plan lighting near the hatch
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
Afterwards, we pack up.
A bit of festive music by the van helps.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
