Planning a team lunch in Golden Cross
Golden Cross is about 4 miles north-west of Hailsham, in East Sussex. Across the BN27 area, we will come to your venue, home or workplace. Golden Cross is one of 289 towns and villages in East Sussex we cover. We serve events right across the region, from Golden Cross to Brighton (14 miles away).
Teams travelling in by rail can use the station: the nearest station is Berwick (Sussex) station, about 3.6 miles south. Golden Cross sits roughly 44 miles from central London. The South Downs National Park is within about 6 miles, which suits team days in the countryside.
This part of East Sussex takes in BN27 and BN8, and we can serve your staff event anywhere in it. We can serve a staff event on streets such as Burgh Hill Road and Golden Cross, wherever the van can park.

Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Find out what documents the site needs
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
- Ask facilities about access
Bins and napkins by the van make it easy.
Cover near the van keeps the queue dry.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
How it works
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Staff usually gather round the hatch once service starts. Lunchtime bookings in Golden Cross are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit spot. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.
- Send us the date, site, headcount and break times.
- We check the site and send a price and any details facilities need.
- We agree where the van parks and when it arrives with you or facilities.
- On the day we set up and fry to order through the agreed service time.
- We clear up and leave the site as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

Golden Cross: your questions answered
Is Golden Cross close to London?
Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station is closest to Golden Cross?
Berwick (Sussex) station, about 3.6 miles south of the centre.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, including East Sussex. Find your area.
Can we pay by invoice?
We will talk you through booking and payment for businesses.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What can staff choose from?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
