Newpound Common parties: what to know
Newpound Common is about 8 miles west of Horsham, in West Sussex. People in Newpound Common book us for all sorts of reasons, but it always starts the same way: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. We cover all 371 towns and villages in West Sussex. Our nearest city page is Guildford, about 15 miles away.
Christenings and naming days frequently start at a local church such as The Parish Church of St Peter Ad Vincula, with fish and chips at home or in a hall afterwards.
For parties in RH14, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many guests. That could mean a party at a home on Newpound and Newpound Lane, as long as there’s somewhere for the van. If your venue is just outside Newpound Common, we also cover Billingshurst (2 miles south-east), Five Oaks (3 miles east), The Haven (3 miles north-east), Coneyhurst (3 miles south-east) and Tisman's Common (4 miles north). We also serve nearby towns such as Crawley (14 miles north-east), Horsham (8 miles east), Worthing (15 miles south), Littlehampton (15 miles south), Rustington (15 miles south) and Broadfield (13 miles east).

Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Show us where the van would go
- Give us separate numbers for children
Let the neighbours know the van is coming, or invite them.
A few lights around the van look great.
How it works
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we are hot, we cook to order, timed around your party. At midsummer, it’s light in Newpound Common until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
