Step by step
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with frying and serving. A summer party in Lindfield stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- It starts with your date, address and numbers.
- You get an access check and a clear price.
- On the day, we park up and get the fryers going.
- We fry fresh and serve from the hatch as your guests come up.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the drive tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Party venues around Lindfield
Lindfield is about 1 mile north-east of Haywards Heath, in West Sussex. Across the RH16 area, we can bring the van to you. We cover all 371 towns and villages across West Sussex. You can also see our page for Brighton, about 13 miles away.
Christenings and naming days often start at a local church such as All Saints Church, with fish and chips at home or in a hall afterwards. Thinking of using Eastern Road Nature Reserve? Parks usually need the owner’s permission, frequently the council’s, before a catering van can park or trade. Lindfield is within about 7 miles of the South Downs National Park, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.
Parties anywhere in RH16 start with a parking spot for the van and roughly how many guests. Whether your party is on Alma Road, Lewes Road and Dukes Road or anywhere nearby, we’ll bring the van to you. We also bring the van to parties in Walstead (1 mile south-east), Ardingly (2 miles north), Horsted Keynes (3 miles north-east), Highbrook (3 miles north) and Little London (3 miles north).

Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
