Van Hire Alfriston

You’ll find plenty of useful spots and services in Alfriston, whether you’re doing a big move, sorting out a garden project or just getting some jobs done. The village might be on the smaller side, but it’s got most things you need – and what it hasn’t got, you can find nearby.

Getting Around Alfriston

Getting about Alfriston’s is pretty straightforward, especially if you know the main routes. The main route through is Alfriston Road, which makes it dead easy to nip over to Arlington if you need to. White Way offers another useful route, especially if you’re heading north with a loaded van – good width for larger vehicles most of the way. Many locals use Lullington Road when they’re heading towards Seaford – a bit narrow in spots but nothing too tricky if you know what you’re doing. The roads here might not be the biggest, but they do the job well enough for vans and larger vehicles.

Van Parking Options

Need to park up your van? Here’s where to leave it in Alfriston. You’ll find Sloe Ln Parking just off the main road – easy enough to spot at Sloe Ln, Polegate BN26 5UP. Dead handy if you’re working in the village centre. The Willows is another good shout – it’s right at 2 North St, BN26 5UG. Best bit? It’s open 24/7, so no worries about timing when you’re doing those longer jobs.

If you fancy a break while you’re working, High & Over Car Park’s worth knowing about. You’ll find it at High and Over, Seaford BN25 3AB. Loads of vans use it when their drivers need a proper break – you can’t beat those sea views and that white horse view is nice.

The Long Man and Priory car park’s another decent option (The St, Wilmington, BN26 5SW). Free parking is always good, innit? Plus you get a proper view of the Long Man – a nice spot for lunch if you’re between jobs.

Last up, there’s Bo Peep Car Park at Bopeep Bostal, Lewes BN26 6UJ. Gets a bit packed after 10 when it’s sunny, so if you need to park a van there, earlier’s better. Views make it worth the effort though.

Petrol Stations And Vehicle Services

When you need to fill up or sort your van, there are a few reliable spots nearby. If you’re passing through Newhaven with an empty tank, you might want to wait – the BP & Morrisons Daily at Selmeston Service Station’s got some of the cheapest diesel around. Find it at Lewes Rd, Selmeston, BN26 6UE. It’s a bit tight in the forecourt with a van, but it is worth it for the prices. Open every day from 6 in the morning till 10 at night.

Most people heading towards Hailsham usually stop at the Texaco on Eastbourne Rd, Seaford BN25 4QS. Decent prices, plus there’s a little shop if you need snacks. They’re open the same hours as BP – 6 AM to 10 PM daily. If something goes wrong with your van, South Coast Performance at Unit 31, Berwick Court Farm (BN26 5QS) knows their stuff. Open 8 till 6 every day and the staff actually talk to you like a human being. Their recovery service is proper good too.

Cradle Hill Motors in Seaford’s another solid choice for repairs. You’ll find them at Cradle Hill Industrial Estate, BN25 3JE. They’re open weekdays from 8:30 to 5 and Saturday mornings till 12. Dead helpful bunch – they’ll tell you straight what needs doing and what can wait.

Hardware Stores, Garden Centres And Storage Facilities

Whether you’re doing up your place or need somewhere to store stuff, there are plenty of options. You might want to check what’s available in Eastbourne too, but locally, Fern Store on High St in Alfriston (BN26 5TD) sorts you out with basic home bits. Open 10 till 5 every day – not the biggest shop but handy in a pinch.

For proper DIY gear, most locals head over to Lewes, but Withers at 33 High St, Polegate is decent enough. They’re open 8 to 6 Monday to Saturday and usually have what you need for smaller jobs. Storage-wise, you’ve got some good options. Cinch Self Storage in Seaford’s got everything sorted – big lift, trolleys you can use, proper clean and won’t break the bank. Find them at Unit 4 Cradle Hill Rd, BN25 3JE. They’re open weekdays from 8:30 to 6 and Saturdays from 9 to 4.

Secure Stores Sussex in Hailsham’s another good shout – dead helpful bunch there. It’s at 17 Apex Park, BN27 3JU and you can get to your stuff whenever you want, with proper 24/7 access. Staff actually know what they’re on about too. Polegate Secure Storage rounds things off – Unit 13 at Chaucer Industrial Estate, BN26 6JF. It’s also open 24/7, so you can sort your stuff at whatever time suits you.

Drive Thru, Restaurants, Shops And More

While not as packed with options as Peacehaven, Alfriston’s still got some decent spots for food and supplies. The Wingrove Restaurant & Terrace on the High Street (BN26 5TD) is a bit fancy but good if you’re after a proper meal. They’re open from 8 in the morning till 10 at night, every day of the week.

If you’re working near Kingston, you might want to pop into Poco at 3 High St (BN26 5TY). Bit different with their hours – open Wednesday and Thursday evenings 6 till 9, Friday and Saturday they do lunch 12 to 3 then dinner 6 till 11 and Sundays they’re just open 12 till 4.

For your basics, there’s Alfriston Village Stores in Waterloo Square (BN26 5UE). No post office there anymore, but they’ve got most things you’d need in a pinch. Open 9 to 6 Monday to Saturday and Sundays they start a bit later at 10 but still shut at 6.
