Common questions in Lindfield
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.
Which station is closest to Lindfield?
The closest is Haywards Heath station, roughly 1.1 miles away.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- How many people are eating
- Any minimum charge
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The date and time of year
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Where the event is
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A photo of the parking spot

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
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.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Lindfield?
A cold buffet in December isn’t much of a treat. Hot fish and chips is. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
Why Lindfield hosts choose us
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side

- Agree the spot with the venue
- Confirm allergies by email
- December Fridays go first: book early
Afterwards, we pack up and leave you to the party.
