The cooking is inside the van, so rain and cold don’t stop us. We serve gravy, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and we are often booked for christmas socials for clubs and christmas family parties.

If a church like Holy Nativity Community Project is running a Christmas fair, a chip van is a welcome sight on a cold evening.

Bevendean questions
Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you serve near the sea around Bevendean?
Yes, of course. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Do you do Christmas markets?
Yes, and hot food goes down well in December. Get in touch with the date.
What can guests choose from?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Brighton and Hove included. See all areas.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
Takeaway for a whole office arrives late and cold. A van cooks on the spot. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
Why book our van in Bevendean
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- A clear quote before booking
- We cover Bevendean and the whole of Brighton and Hove
- Hot food handed straight over
Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
- Book as early as possible for December
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
Park the van close to the door, so nobody is out in the cold for long.
Paper hats and crackers on the tables add to the fun.
How it works
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. Sunset in Bevendean in late December is about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Share the timings for the day
