Party venues around Pound Hill
Pound Hill is about 2 miles north-east of Crawley, in West Sussex. We cover Pound Hill as standard, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. Pound Hill is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex we cover. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 20 miles away.
A christening at St Barnabas' followed by fish and chips on the drive is a simple, popular plan. A green space like Worth Park Gardens is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, normally the council’s.
This part of West Sussex takes in RH10, and we can serve your party anywhere in it. Streets in the area include Worth Road, Burns Road and Milton Road, and the van can serve a party on any of them with a suitable parking spot. Close by, we cover parties in Worth (1 mile south), Three Bridges (1 mile south-west), Forge Wood (1 mile north), Maidenbower (1 mile south) and Copthorne (1 mile north-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Horsham (8 miles south-west), Haywards Heath (9 miles south), Burgess Hill (11 miles south), East Grinstead (6 miles east), Broadfield (3 miles south-west) and Billingshurst (15 miles south-west).
Well-known places in the area include County Mall (1.7 miles west) and Langley Green Hospital (2 miles west). Within reach you’ll find Tilgate Lake.
- Nearby schools include Hazelwick School (0.8 miles west) and The Gatwick School (1.3 miles north-west)
- Pubs nearby include Hillside Inn (less than half a mile south)

What affects the price in Pound Hill
We’ll give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How many people are eating
- Access and parking
- The date and time of year
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
What we need to know
The more we know about your party, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Where the van would park
- Allergies and diets you know about
- A picture of where the van would go
- Roughly how many people, including children
Not sure of numbers yet? That’s fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. Start when you are ready: send us your details through our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
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.
Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Show us where the van would go
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
We park on the agreed spot and set up, and serve as the party carries on.
Somewhere to sit makes eating easier.
Questions from Pound Hill
Can you serve after a service at St Barnabas'?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to Pound Hill?
Three Bridges station, about 0.6 miles south-west of the centre.
Will the van fit on our drive?
That depends on the space and the route in. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead branches, and we’ll tell you honestly.
When should we book for a summer party?
Summer weekends go first. Ask about your date.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is normally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can the van come to our street party?
Yes, with the council’s permission for the road closure. Mention the van in your application.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Pound Hill?
