Wineham parties: what to know
Wineham is about 5 miles west of Burgess Hill, in West Sussex. Whether your party is in the middle of Wineham or on the outskirts, the service works the same way: fresh frying, hot food from the hatch and a clear price. Wineham is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex we cover. Our bookings stretch from Wineham to Brighton (11 miles away).
Historic houses near Wineham include Ockenden Manor (4.9 miles north-east). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on vehicles and caterers, so for most parties a home or hired hall is simpler. The South Downs National Park is within about 7 miles of Wineham, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.
For parties in BN5, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many guests. If your venue is just outside Wineham, we also cover Kent Street (1 mile north-west), Twineham Green (1 mile east), Twineham (1 mile east), Cowfold (2 miles north-west) and Crosspost (2 miles north-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Crawley (10 miles north), Horsham (7 miles north-west), Worthing (12 miles south-west), Haywards Heath (7 miles east), Burgess Hill (5 miles east) and East Grinstead (15 miles north-east).
A little further out are The Dene Hospital (3.3 miles east). Within reach you’ll find Woods Mill.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Wineham?
A takeaway order for a party takes ages and arrives lukewarm. The van cooks right there. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.
Why us?
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- No kitchen needed

The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
How it works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. At midsummer, it’s light in Wineham until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

FAQs for Wineham
Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you come out to small places like Wineham?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What do children eat?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
How far ahead should we book a party?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Will the van fit on our drive?
Generally, if the drive is level and firm and the van can get in. Send a photo of the drive and the way in.
Organising for someone else?
Hosting at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
