Staff lunches in Beckley Furnace: access and travel
Beckley Furnace is about 7 miles north of Hastings, in East Sussex. Bookings in Beckley Furnace come in all shapes and sizes, but the plan is always the same: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. We take the van to all 289 towns and villages across East Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. We serve events right across the region, from Beckley Furnace to Canterbury (30 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Great Dixter (2.7 miles north) and Durhamford Manor (4.2 miles west). Estates and historic houses can make memorable settings for client events, but they typically set strict rules for vehicles. For staff and visitors coming by train, the closest railway station is Doleham station, roughly 2.9 miles south of the centre. The coast is within about 6 miles, so a chip van lunch feels like a day at the seaside.
Wherever your staff event is in TN31, we can fry fresh for your staff, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Nearby, we also serve staff events in Broad Oak (1 mile south-west), Broadland Row (1 mile south-east), Beckley (2 miles north-east), Udimore (2 miles south-east) and Northiam (3 miles north). Larger places within reach include Hastings (7 miles south), Bexhill-on-Sea (10 miles south-west), St Leonards (8 miles south), Hastings Old Town (7 miles south), Belmont (7 miles south) and Hollington (7 miles south-west).

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A meal out takes everyone off site. The van brings lunch to the team. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your staff event.
Why us?
- No kitchen needed
- Bookings across East Sussex, including Beckley Furnace
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
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.
What affects the price in Beckley Furnace
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Whether a minimum applies
- The length of service
- Distance and any road charges
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The date and time of the event
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Beckley Furnace
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Do you come out to small places like Beckley Furnace?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you come onto our site?
Often, with a level spot and the site’s agreement. Facilities will decide the spot.
Can you invoice the company?
Tell us what your finance team needs and we will explain.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for staff.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac staff in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Step by step
