There’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. It needs a level, firm spot to park and a clear way in, which suits drives, yards, car parks and firm lawns.

A fish and chip van across TN37: what to know
There are 3 towns and 1 villages and hamlets in TN37, so the setting can be anything from Hastings, St Leonards and Hollington to a quiet hamlet: a level spot, a clear way in and a plan. Around 8 places in TN37 are close to the coast, so we often plan a sheltered side for the queue.
Baldslow: For anyone arriving by rail, Ore station is about 2.3 miles away. For a fundraiser at a school like Ark Helenswood Academy, the van can trade from a pitch agreed with the school. By late September, sunset in Baldslow is around 7:00pm, and in December it is nearer 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the queue.
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips.

Common questions in TN37
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Is a chip van good for a large crowd?
That depends on how many and how quickly. Staggering groups and keeping the menu short both help.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
