Walstead: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Walstead?
The closest is Haywards Heath station, roughly 1.5 miles away.
Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
Do you do work Christmas parties?
Yes, with a level spot such as a car park and the site’s agreement.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Do you cover Walstead?
We do. Walstead is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.

The process
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Sunset in Walstead in late December is about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- Send us your December date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check access and lighting at the spot and send a price.
- 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 pack up when service ends and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Clear the route for the van
