The closest is Stonegate station, roughly 2.1 miles away.
Could you trade in Wadhurst Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
How much is fish and chip van hire?

What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Shover's Green.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
Do we need to provide anything?
Mostly just a good parking spot. Mention power and water and we’ll confirm the rest.
