Milton Street parties: what to know
Milton Street is about 4 miles north-east of Seaford, in East Sussex. Bookings in Milton Street come in all shapes and sizes, but the plan is always the same: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. We cover all 289 towns and villages in East Sussex. You can also see our page for Brighton, about 13 miles away.
A christening at St Mary and St Peter's Church followed by fish and chips on the drive is a simple, popular plan. Nearby historic houses include Alfriston Clergy House (1.1 miles south-west) and Charleston Farmhouse (3.3 miles north-west). For most parties, a home or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict vehicle rules. The South Downs National Park is within about 2 miles of Milton Street, so many gardens around here have a great outlook. 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.
For parties in BN26, we just need to know where the van can park. Close by, we cover parties in Wilmington (1 mile north-east), Winton (1 mile west), Alfriston (1 mile south-west), Lullington (1 mile south-west) and Dukes Green (1 mile south-west). Larger places within reach include Eastbourne (5 miles south-east), Bexhill-on-Sea (13 miles east), Seaford (4 miles south-west), Lewes (9 miles north-west), Hailsham (5 miles north-east) and Uckfield (11 miles north).
Other landmarks nearby include Eastbourne District General Hospital (4.4 miles south-east) and Burlough Castle (under half a mile north-west). Green spaces nearby include Combe Hill.
- Nearby, you will find The Sussex Ox pub (under half a mile west)
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
With children, food about an hour in works well, before the cake.
Bunting and festoon lights by the van make it part of the party.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Milton Street
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
We are gathering after a service at St Mary and St Peter's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
How far ahead should we book a party?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.
Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Step by step
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. At midsummer, it is light in Milton Street until about 9:15pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- 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 arrive, park up and heat the fryers.
- We fry fresh and serve from the hatch as your guests come up.
- We pack up when we’re done and leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Ensure the van can get in
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
