Parties in Waldron: homes, halls and local tips
Waldron is about 5 miles east of Uckfield, in East Sussex. For parties in Waldron, we can park on a drive, a car park, a yard or firm, dry grass in and around Waldron. Waldron is one of 289 towns and villages in East Sussex where we bring the van. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 17 miles away.
For party guests on the train, Buxted station is about 4.1 miles away. If you had Passingworth Park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: vans cannot simply park up and serve in a public park. Waldron is within about 6 miles of the High Weald National Landscape, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.
Parties anywhere in TN21 start with a parking spot for the van and roughly how many guests. From Whitehouse Lane and North Street or a nearby road, we will bring the van to you.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

The process
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. A summer party in Waldron stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Make sure the van can get in
