Party fish and chip van for Blacklands events
The process
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Your guests can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. A summer party in Blacklands stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check where the van can park and send a price.
- On the day, we park up and get the fryers going.
- Guests come up to the hatch and we fry to order.
- We pack up when we’re done and leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Tell us when you want to eat

Blacklands parties: what to know
Blacklands is about 1 mile east of Hastings, in East Sussex. Blacklands is well within our area, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. Blacklands is one of 289 towns and villages in East Sussex where we bring the van. You can also see our page for Brighton, about 31 miles away.
Parks such as Alexandra Park usually need permission from the council or landowner for a catering van, so check first. Guests arriving by train should know that the nearest station is Ore station, about 0.6 miles east. The coast is within about a mile, so a chip van is a natural choice.
Parties anywhere in TN34, TN37 and TN35 start with a parking spot for the van and roughly how many guests. Streets in the area include Laton Road, Manor Road and Park Avenue, and the van can serve a party on any of them with a suitable parking spot.

In Blacklands and nearby, the van turns up at all sorts of events. Some of the most common are:

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. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Questions from Blacklands
Can you serve near the sea around Blacklands?
Yes, of course. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
We are gathering after a service at Christ Church: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
When should we book for a summer party?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so ask early.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
Can the van park on my drive?
Generally, if the drive is level and firm and the van can get in. Send us a picture and tell us about gates and branches.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Let your neighbours know
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
Plan where the queue stands.
Bunting and festoon lights by the van make it part of the party.
What affects the price in Blacklands
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Parking and the way in
- Whether a minimum applies
- Cod, haddock or both
- The day of the week
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
What to tell us
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- The address or venue name
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A photo of the parking spot
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, fill in our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
