Party fish and chip van in Hollington, cooked to order

Food is fried to order, so it is hot and crisp, rather than sitting on a buffet table all afternoon. Whether it’s neighbourhood get-togethers and birthday parties, we’ll put together a menu of gravy, cod and chips and pie and chips.

For a party in Hollington, home is often the best venue. Tell us about the drive and the lane, and we will bring everything else. Everything is fried fresh at your party, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

A chip van compared with other options

A takeaway order for a party takes ages and arrives lukewarm. The van cooks right there. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.

What you get with us

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

See our pricing or our guide to van hire costs.

Looking after everyone

Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:

  • Collect allergies with your RSVPs
  • Check the street’s parking rules
  • Put allergy details in writing
  • Let your neighbours know

Plan where the queue stands if the van is on the drive.

Bunting and festoon lights by the van make it part of the party.

The process

There’s very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your party. The frying and serving are down to us. Sunset in Hollington drops to about 7:00pm by late September and 3:55pm by December, so think about lighting by the van.

  1. Send us the date, address, numbers and serving time.
  2. You get an access check and a clear price.
  3. On the day we arrive, park up and heat the fryers.
  4. We serve hot from the hatch while the party carries on.
  5. We pack up afterwards and leave the drive tidy.

Getting ready for the day

  • Make sure the van can get in
  • Give us your final numbers and allergies
  • Name one person we can call on the day

About the food

Gravy

A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.

Cod and chips

Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.

Occasions we serve in Hollington

It works at home: a drive or a firm spot near the garden will do.

We can help if you’re planning any of the following:

  • Kids’ birthday parties
  • Christenings and naming days
  • Milestone birthdays
  • Leaving parties

If guests are coming by rail, St Leonards Warrior Square station, about 1.4 miles south, is the nearest station.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Travel, tolls and road charges
  • When final numbers are due
  • What they can offer for dietary needs
  • What the price includes, item by item

How to compare vans

Hosting a chip van party in Hollington

Hollington is about 1 mile north-west of Hastings, in East Sussex. In and around Hollington, the van can serve from a drive, a yard, a car park or a firm field. We serve 289 places in East Sussex. Our bookings stretch from Hollington to Brighton (about 30 miles away).

A green space like Old Roar Gill and Coronation Wood is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, generally the council’s. After a christening at a church like St Anne, a chip van at home is an easy way to feed family and friends. Near the coast, within about 3 miles, a fish and chip van feels like a trip to the seaside, and we always plan for wind.

Wherever your party is in TN38, TN37 and TN34, we can bring the van to you. Streets in the area include Kent Road, Duke Road and Ford Road, and the van can serve a party on any of them with a suitable parking spot. Main roads around Hollington include the A21, so getting the van to your party is simple. Other places close to Hollington we cover include Silverhill (1 mile south-east), Hastings (1 mile south-east), Baldslow (1 mile north), St Helen's (1 mile east) and St Leonards (1 mile south). Within a short drive, we also cover Eastbourne (13 miles south-west), Bexhill-on-Sea (4 miles south-west), Hailsham (13 miles west), Polegate (14 miles west), Old Town (14 miles south-west) and Heathfield (14 miles north-west).

Well-known places in the area include Hastings Castle (2.1 miles south-east) and Conquest Hospital (1.1 miles north-east). Green spaces nearby include Senlac Hill and Church Wood and Robsack Wood.

  • Nearby schools include William Parker Sports College (0.9 miles east)
  • Local pubs include The Wishing Tree pub (within half a mile north-west)

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Hollington

Can the van park in Old Roar Gill and Coronation Wood?

Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.

Which station is closest to Hollington?

The closest is St Leonards Warrior Square station, roughly 1.4 miles away.

What if we only have street parking?

It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.

What do you need at the house?

Mostly just a good parking spot. Tell us what’s available and we will take it from there.

How much is fish and chip van hire?

The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your party and we will send a quote.

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’ll confirm the rest.

What about guests who don’t eat fish?

We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.

Who clears up?

We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.

Should I sort the food myself?

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.

Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

  • 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
