Fish and chip van hire in Broadland Row, fried fresh
Keep it simple, or plan every detail: open service, or food at a fixed time. We’ll recommend what fits. We’re often asked to cater care home visits and wakes and gatherings after a funeral, serving sausage and chips, pie and chips and gravy.
In a small place like Broadland Row, the van frequently parks on a farm track, a field or a drive. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, dry ground is the key. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Planning a chip van in Broadland Row
Broadland Row is about 6 miles north-east of Hastings, in East Sussex. We take a fish and chip van to drives, car parks, yards and venues around Broadland Row and the surrounding area. Broadland Row is one of 289 towns and villages in East Sussex we cover. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 30 miles away.
Churches such as The Parish Church of St Mary rarely have room for a van, but a hall or home close by typically does. If guests are travelling by rail, the closest railway station is Doleham station, roughly 1.9 miles south-west of the centre. The coast is within about 5 miles of Broadland Row, and fish and chips always feels right near the sea. On windy days, we plan a sheltered side for the queue.
Anywhere in TN31, we can fry fresh for your guests. That could mean an event at a home on Hundredhouse Lane and Udimore Road or the roads around them, as long as there is somewhere for the van. For events just outside Broadland Row, we cover Broad Oak (1 mile west), Udimore (1 mile east), Beckley Furnace (1 mile north-west), Doleham (2 miles south-west) and Broad Street (2 miles south-east). Larger places within reach include Hastings (6 miles south-west), Bexhill-on-Sea (10 miles south-west), St Leonards (7 miles south-west), Hastings Old Town (6 miles south), Belmont (6 miles south) and Hollington (6 miles south-west).
A little further out are Conquest Hospital (4.8 miles south-west) and Barn Theatre and Museum (3.7 miles south-west). Green spaces nearby include Flatropers Wood.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A cold buffet is simple, but food sits out, and there is nothing warming on a chilly day. A chip van cooks to order and serves hot. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is frequently the best value.
Why book with us
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Quick service from the hatch

Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Questions from Broadland Row
We are gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St Mary: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you serve near the sea around Broadland Row?
Yes, of course. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Do you cover Broadland Row?
We do. We serve events in Broadland Row and across East Sussex. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
What happens when we hire the van?
We arrive with the van, cook fresh on site, and serve at the time you want.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.

What happens on the day

- We check access for the van and quote.
