Planning a party in Belmont

Belmont is about 1 mile south-east of Hastings, in East Sussex. We serve parties at homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Belmont. Belmont is one of 289 places in East Sussex we cover. Our bookings stretch from Belmont to Brighton (about 31 miles away).

A christening at Emmanuel Church followed by fish and chips on the drive is a simple, popular plan. If guests are coming by rail, Ore station, about 0.5 miles north, is the nearest station. The coast is within about a mile, so a chip van is a natural choice.

Anywhere in TN34 and TN35, we can bring the van to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. From Crown Lane, Croft Road and Manor Road or anywhere nearby, we will bring the van to you. Close by, we cover parties in Hastings Old Town (1 mile south), Rock-a-Nore (1 mile south-east), America Ground (1 mile south-west), Blacklands (1 mile north-west) and St Helen's (1 mile north-west). We also serve nearby towns such as Eastbourne (14 miles west), Bexhill-on-Sea (5 miles west), Hailsham (15 miles west), Polegate (15 miles west), Old Town (15 miles south-west) and Upper Horsebridge (15 miles west).

Well-known places in the area include Priory Meadow Shopping Centre (under half a mile south-west) and Hastings Castle (within half a mile south-west). Open spaces near Belmont include Church Wood and Robsack Wood.

About our party fish and chip van in Belmont

You don’t need to hire a hall: the van makes your home the party venue. Whether it’s street parties and neighbourhood events and retirement parties, we will put together a menu of pie and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.

For a party in Belmont, home is frequently the best venue. Let us know how the van reaches the house, and we’ll bring everything else. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before booking.

What happens on the day

Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Sunset in Belmont is about 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.

  1. Send us the date, address, numbers and serving time.
  2. We check where the van can park and send a price.
  3. On the day, we park up and get the fryers going.
  4. Guests come up to the hatch and we fry to order.
  5. Afterwards, we clear up and leave you to it.

Getting ready for the day

  • Ensure the van can get in
  • Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
  • Get permission for the van from the venue

About the food

Sausage and chips

Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and it is a favourite with children.

Mushy peas

No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.

For planners, venues and organisers

Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.

Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

Occasions we serve in Belmont

Everyone from toddlers to grandparents enjoys it, so it’s ideal for family parties.

Almost any gathering works with a fish and chip van. In Belmont, people book us for events such as:

  • Family celebrations after a christening
  • Garden get-togethers
  • Children’s parties
  • Anniversaries and engagement parties

A green space like Linton Gardens is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, usually the council’s.

What to look for in a quote

  • The minimum number of meals or minimum spend
  • How late numbers can change
  • Exactly what’s included in the price
  • What they can offer for dietary needs

Our booking checklist

How we price a fish and chip van for your party

Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:

  • Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
  • How long we serve
  • The menu and how many choices
  • The minimum booking

Larger groups typically cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Details that help

To check availability and price, we need:

  • The address or venue name
  • Allergies and diets you know about
  • Roughly how many people, including children
  • Anything awkward about the way in

Each quote is put together for your party. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.

Should I sort the food myself?

Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. 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.

Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Common questions in Belmont

What about events near the coast?

Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.

What’s the nearest station to Belmont?

The closest is Ore station, roughly 0.5 miles away.

Does the batter contain gluten?

No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options before you book.

Do you need power or water?

A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.

How long are you on site?

We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.

Where do you take the van?

We take the van across London and the South East, East Sussex included. See all areas.

When should we book?

The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.

Can you go on a lawn or field?

That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.

Is a fish and chip van right for your party?

Next to a DIY barbecue, the host isn’t stuck cooking all afternoon. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.

Why book with us

  • A quote that spells everything out
  • Events in Belmont and across East Sussex
  • All the chip-shop extras
  • No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up

Take a look at our prices page and the cost guide.

Looking after everyone

A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:

  • Flag any coeliac guests
  • Send allergies to us in writing
  • Let your neighbours know
  • Ask guests about allergies when they reply

Put bins and napkins near the hatch.

A gazebo by the hatch keeps the queue dry.

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
  • Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
  • The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
  • Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
