Questions from Kemptown
What about events near the coast?
Yes. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Which station is closest to Kemptown?
Brighton station, about 1.3 miles north-west of the centre.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Where should the van go?
Wherever suits the home, as long as it’s level and safe; we will check access.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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 you get to enjoy the day.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
The home’s kitchen can make fish and chips, but a van turns it into an occasion. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
Why us?
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- A van that becomes part of the event
- No surprises in your quote
- Served hot, straight from the hatch

Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- The day of the week
- The number of meals
- Parking and the way in
- The length of service
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
Getting an accurate quote
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- A photo of the parking spot
- Expected numbers
- Your date and serving time
Still finalising the details? That is fine: tell us the basics about your care home visit, and we will firm it up nearer the time. To start, fill in our quote form.

The menu, dish by dish
Gravy

Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order.
