Planning a chip van in TN38
There are 3 towns and 3 villages and hamlets in TN38, 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. 7 of the places we cover in TN38 are within about 6 miles of the sea, where we always think about shelter for the queue, and fish and chips feels right at home.
St Leonards: A green space like Summerfields Wood is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, generally the council’s. For a fundraiser at a school like St Leonard's Church of England Primary Academy, the van can trade from a pitch agreed with the school. Around midsummer it stays light in St Leonards until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so summer evening events are typically served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
