Guestling is about 3 miles north-east of Hastings, in East Sussex. From the centre of Guestling to the outskirts, the service works the same way: fresh frying, hot food from the hatch and a clear price. Guestling is one of 289 places in East Sussex we cover. Our bookings stretch from Guestling to Brighton (33 miles away).
For guests coming by train, the nearest station is Three Oaks station, about 1.1 miles north-west. A christening at St Laurence's Church followed by fish and chips on the drive is a simple, popular plan. Near the coast, within about 4 miles, a fish and chip van feels like a trip to the seaside, and we always plan for wind.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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.
Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Have a back-up for special diets
Keep the queue away from the road.
A few lights around the van look great.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Ordering in for a crowd means long waits. A van fries on the spot. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.
