Party venues around Bolney
Bolney is about 4 miles north-west of Burgess Hill, in West Sussex. Across the RH17 area, we can fry fresh for your guests. We serve 371 places in West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. We serve events right across the region, from Bolney to Brighton (about 12 miles away).
For party guests on the train, Wivelsfield station, about 4.1 miles south-east, is the nearest station. Within reach of Bolney are historic houses such as Ockenden Manor (2.5 miles east) and Tyes Place (3.2 miles north-east). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on vehicles and caterers, so for most parties a home or hired hall is simpler. The South Downs National Park is within about 7 miles of Bolney, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.
We serve parties across the RH17 postcode area. Whether your party is on The Street, Cherry Lane and Top Street or a nearby road, we’ll bring the van to you. Close by, we cover parties in Crosspost (1 mile south-west), Twineham Green (2 miles south), Twineham (2 miles south), Wineham (3 miles south-west) and Kent Street (3 miles south-west).

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Bolney?
A hog roast is pork only, while a chip van gives people a choice. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
