Hassocks questions
Which station is closest to Hassocks?
Hassocks has its own station: Hassocks station.
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Will the van fit on our drive?
That depends on the space and the route in. Mention anything tight, and we’ll tell you honestly.
What do you need at the house?
Let us know about power and water at the house, and we will say what we need.
Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
A chip van compared with other options
Compared with cooking a barbecue yourself, a chip van means nobody is stuck at the grill. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.

- No surprises in your quote
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
