A fish and chip van across BN25: what to know
BN25 covers everything from Seaford, Tide Mills and Bishopstone to 4 small villages and hamlets, and the van works in all of them. In towns, plan parking and access; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground. Parts of BN25 are within a few miles of the South Downs National Park, where some venues have extra rules about vehicles. 5 of the places we cover in BN25 are within about 6 miles of the sea, so we often plan a sheltered side for the queue, and fish and chips feels right at home.
Seaford: For anyone arriving by rail, Seaford station, about 0.5 miles south-west, is the nearest station. PTAs at schools such as Seaford Primary School often look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. Evening events need a little planning for light: in Seaford, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
Working with your venue
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in BN25? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Looking after everyone
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Fewer choices mean faster service
- Ask about allergies on your invitation or sign-up form
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Confirm allergies by email
Bins and napkins near the hatch make life easier.
Bunting or festoon lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
The menu, dish by dish
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Planning the van’s spot
We’ll be honest if a spot will not work. The main points are:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A spot near your guests
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
BN25 questions
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Generally, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Does a chip van work for big events?
It depends on numbers and timings. A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
