High Cross parties: what to know
High Cross is about 4 miles west of Burgess Hill, in West Sussex. Parties in High Cross are planned around your venue and timings: a quote, a parking spot and fresh frying on the day. We cover 371 places across West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. We serve events right across the region, from High Cross to Brighton (9 miles away).
After a christening at a church like The Parish Church of St Bartholomew, a chip van at home is an easy way to feed family and friends. High Cross is within about 5 miles of the South Downs National Park, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.
We serve parties across BN6. Nearby, we also serve parties 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).

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in High Cross
What’s the nearest station to High Cross?
The closest is Hassocks station, roughly 3.4 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like High Cross?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children usually love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Do you cover High Cross?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including High Cross. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the party.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
