High Cross: your questions answered
Which station is closest to High Cross?
The closest is Hassocks station, roughly 3.4 miles away.
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 follow the site rules.
What does the van need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
Do you come to High Cross?
We do. We serve events in High Cross and across West Sussex. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Do you work around shifts?
Yes, with the shift pattern in advance. We will plan it with you.

What else we do in High Cross
Step by step
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Staff will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. For a staff lunch in High Cross, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
Getting a price
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.

Business events near High Cross
High Cross is about 4 miles west of Burgess Hill, in West Sussex. From the centre of High Cross to the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh frying, hot food from the hatch and a clear price. High Cross is one of 371 places in West Sussex where we bring the van. Our bookings stretch from High Cross to Brighton (9 miles away).
For colleagues arriving by train, the closest railway station is Hassocks station, roughly 3.4 miles east of the centre. The South Downs National Park is within about 5 miles, which suits team days in the countryside.
Wherever your staff event is in BN6, we can fry fresh for your staff. We also bring the van to staff events in Albourne (1 mile south-east), Albourne Green (1 mile south-east), Albourne Street (1 mile south-east), Blackstone (1 mile south-west) and Twineham (2 miles north). Further out, we also take the van to Crawley (12 miles north), Horsham (10 miles north-west), Worthing (11 miles south-west), Haywards Heath (7 miles north-east), Burgess Hill (4 miles east) and Shoreham-by-Sea (8 miles south).

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually 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. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Check with facilities where the van can park
- Share the shift pattern
- Consider a pre-order list
After the last group, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
Some teams make it a regular treat.
- 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
