Common questions in Brede
What’s the nearest station to Brede?
Doleham station, about 1.2 miles south-east of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Brede?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you do Christmas markets?
Yes. Tell us the date and pitch.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Do you do work Christmas parties?
Yes, if there’s a suitable spot for the van and the site allows it.
Step by step
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. In December, it is dark in Brede by about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- We start with a few details about your Christmas party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Festive bookings around Brede
Brede is about 5 miles north of Hastings, in East Sussex. Brede is well within our area, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. Brede is one of 289 towns and villages in East Sussex where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Brede to Brighton (about 32 miles away).
If people are coming by rail, the closest railway station is Doleham station, roughly 1.2 miles south-east of the centre. If you are organising a Christmas fair for a school like Brede Primary School, hot fish and chips goes down well. The coast is within about 6 miles of Brede, and winter sea winds can be bitter, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Here we cover the TN31 postcode area. Your Christmas party could be at a house on Brede Hill and Stubb Lane or the roads around them, wherever the van can park. We also bring the van to Christmas parties in Cackle Street (1 mile north), Westfield (2 miles south-west), Kent Street (3 miles south-west), Sedlescombe (3 miles west) and Mill Corner (3 miles north). We also serve nearby towns such as Hastings (5 miles south), Bexhill-on-Sea (8 miles south-west), St Leonards (6 miles south), Hastings Old Town (5 miles south), Belmont (5 miles south) and Heathfield (15 miles west).
Nearby you’ll also find Barn Theatre and Museum (2.5 miles south) and Conquest Hospital (3.5 miles south). Green spaces nearby include Flatropers Wood and Senlac Hill.
- Nearby, you’ll find The Red Lion Public House (under half a mile north)
Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Make sure the van and queue are well lit

Keep the walk from the door to the van short.

A chip van compared with other options
For something other than turkey, a chip van is hard to beat. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
Why book with us
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- A menu almost everyone likes
- A van that becomes part of the event
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
