Common questions in Warninglid
Which station is closest to Warninglid?
Balcombe station, about 3.6 miles north-east of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Warninglid?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
What are the terms for events?
We’ll talk it through when you send the details, and we’ll find something that works.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.

Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.

How the day works
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Summer fêtes in Warninglid have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September the light goes at about 7:05pm.
- Organisers send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- You get our pitch needs and a quick answer on availability.
- We set up before the gates open.
- We trade from the hatch all event, frying to order.
- We clear the pitch when the event closes.
How to prepare

Event catering near Warninglid
Warninglid is about 4 miles west of Haywards Heath, in West Sussex. People in Warninglid book us for all sorts of reasons, but it always starts the same way: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. Warninglid is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Warninglid to Brighton (about 13 miles away).
Within about 8 miles is the South Downs National Park, where events may have extra rules on vehicles and waste; we work to the site rules.
Events anywhere in RH17 start with a parking spot for the van and roughly how many visitors. Local streets include The Street, Staplefield Lane and Orchard Way; an event on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. We also bring the van to events in Slough Green (1 mile east), Staplefield (1 mile north-east), Whitemans Green (2 miles east), Brook Street (2 miles east) and Cuckfield (3 miles east). Within a short drive, we also cover Crawley (6 miles north), Horsham (6 miles north-west), Haywards Heath (4 miles east), Burgess Hill (5 miles south-east), East Grinstead (11 miles north-east) and Shoreham-by-Sea (13 miles south).
Other landmarks nearby include The Dene Hospital (3.9 miles south) and Cuckfield Museum (2.4 miles east). Open spaces near Warninglid include Blunts Wood and Paiges Meadow.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- The day of the week
- Whether a minimum applies
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The menu and how many choices
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is usually the best value.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Your date and serving time
- Roughly how many people, including children
- A photo of the parking spot
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
- 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
