Planning a party in Broadland Row

Broadland Row is about 6 miles north-east of Hastings, in East Sussex. We park up at drives, car parks, yards and venues around Broadland Row and the surrounding area. We cover all 289 towns and villages across East Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. We serve events right across the region, from Broadland Row to Canterbury (30 miles away).

Christenings and naming days frequently start at a local church such as The Parish Church of St Mary, with fish and chips at home or in a hall afterwards. Within reach of Broadland Row are historic houses such as Great Dixter (4 miles north-west) and Lamb House (4.6 miles east). If you are hiring a historic venue for a big birthday, check its rules on catering vans first. Near the coast, within about 5 miles, a fish and chip van feels like a trip to the seaside, and we always plan for wind.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Broadland Row?

Ordering in for a crowd means long waits. The van cooks right there. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.

Why book with us

  • A clear quote before you book
  • Hot food handed straight over
  • We cover Broadland Row and the whole of East Sussex
  • The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy

Read our prices page and what a fish and chip van costs.

Should I sort the food myself?

Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

For planners, venues and organisers

For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.

Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.

Allergies and dietary needs

Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:

  • Tell us how many children are coming
  • Show us where the van would go
  • Have a back-up for special diets
  • Collect allergies with your RSVPs

Plan where the queue stands.

Your own cake makes the perfect finish.

The process

Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. Afterwards we pack up. In Broadland Row, a June party has light until about 9:15pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:00pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you’re eating late.

  1. It starts with your date, address and numbers.
  2. We check access for the van and send a quote.
  3. On the day we arrive, park up and heat the fryers.
  4. We fry fresh and serve from the hatch as your guests come up.
  5. We pack up when we’re done and leave the pitch tidy.

How to prepare

  • Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
  • Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
  • Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

FAQs for Broadland Row

Is Broadland Row close to London?

About 50 miles from central London.

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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.

What do you bring?

The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.

How far ahead should we book?

As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.

Do you do anything other than fish?

Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.

What if the weather’s bad?

We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.

Do we need to provide anything?

A suitable spot for the van, mainly. Tell us what’s available and we’ll take it from there.

What food do you serve?

Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.

Space, access and the venue

The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:

  • Somewhere close to where people will eat
  • The site’s agreement to a catering van
  • Flat, firm ground for the van

If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
