Hoyle: your questions answered
How far is Hoyle from London?
About 46 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small places like Hoyle?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you do work Christmas parties?
We do. Send us your date and site details as early as you can.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
When should we eat?
At the time you choose. Remember it’s dark by about 4pm in December.
Will the weather be a problem?
We cook inside the van, so the weather doesn’t stop us. Plan a short, lit route from the door to the hatch.
Before you choose a spot
We will be honest if a spot will not work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Festive bookings around Hoyle
Hoyle is about 9 miles north of Chichester, in West Sussex. Hoyle is well within our area, so your Christmas party just needs a date, a spot for the van and a serving time. Hoyle is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Hoyle to Guildford (21 miles away).
A winter fair at a school like Midhurst Rother College gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. Hoyle is within about 3 miles of the South Downs National Park; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.
Wherever your Christmas party is in GU29, we can fry fresh for your guests. If your venue is just outside Hoyle, we also cover Heyshott (1 mile south-west), Heyshott Green (1 mile west), Cocking Causeway (2 miles north-west), West Lavington (2 miles north-west) and Cocking (2 miles west). Further out, we also take the van to Bognor Regis (12 miles south), Chichester (9 miles south), Littlehampton (13 miles south-east), Emsworth (12 miles south-west), Rustington (13 miles south-east) and Storrington (12 miles east).
Well-known places in the area include Midhurst Community Hospital (2.6 miles north-west) and Lodsworth Castle (2.3 miles north-east). Green spaces nearby include Levin Down and Graffham Common.
- Nearby, you will find Unicorn Inn (0.6 miles south-west)
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.

- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- Choose a lit spot for the van
- Check the van can park on site
Send people out in groups.
Fairy lights around the van make it part of the decorations.

- We check the spot for the van and send a quote.
- We agree arrival, lighting and the serving spot with you or the venue.
- We park up, heat the fryers and serve hot food on a cold day.
- We clear our spot and head off.
How to prepare
- Share the timings for the day
