Hosting a chip van party in Hollingrove
Hollingrove is about 8 miles north of Bexhill-on-Sea, in East Sussex. Wherever your party is in the TN32 area, we can fry fresh for your guests. Hollingrove is one of 289 places in East Sussex where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Hollingrove to Brighton (25 miles away).
Historic houses near Hollingrove include Bateman's (2.2 miles north-west). If you’re hiring a historic venue for a big birthday, check its rules on catering vans first. After a christening at a church like The Parish Church of St Thomas A Becket, a chip van at home is an easy way to feed family and friends. Hollingrove is within about 3 miles of the High Weald National Landscape, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.
We cover parties in every part of the TN32 postcode area. Local streets include Hollingrove Road and Kent Lane; a party on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park.

How it works
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. At midsummer, it is light in Hollingrove until about 9:15pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
How to prepare
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Plan where the queue will stand

About the food
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.

Common questions in Hollingrove
Is Hollingrove too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Hollingrove from London?
Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Can you come to a street party?
Yes, with the council’s permission for the road closure. Tell the council about the van.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
