Festive bookings around Brighton and Hove
Brighton and Hove is in England. Give us the address of your Christmas party in Brighton and Hove, and we will plan the route and the parking spot before the day. We serve 30 places in Brighton and Hove.
The A270 and A293 make Brighton and Hove easy to reach on a dark winter evening. A winter fair at a school like West Hove Infant School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. The South Downs National Park is within about 7 miles of Brighton and Hove, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route. The coast is within about 3 miles of Brighton and Hove, and winter sea winds can be bitter.
For Christmas parties in BN3, BN41 and BN1, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many guests. Whether your Christmas party is on New Church Road, Princes Square and Station Road or a nearby road, we’ll bring the van to you. Brighton and Hove sits on or near the A270 and A293, so getting the van to your Christmas party is simple. Neighbouring places where we serve Christmas parties include Aldrington (1 mile south-west), West Blatchington (1 mile north-east), Hove (1 mile south-east), Prestonville (2 miles east) and Brunswick (2 miles south-east). We also serve nearby towns such as Brighton (3 miles east), Carlton Hill (3 miles east), Hanover (3 miles east), Kemptown (3 miles south-east), Hollingdean (3 miles east) and Whitehawk (4 miles east).
Nearby you’ll also find British Engineerium (0.7 miles north-east) and Churchill Square (2.1 miles south-east). Green spaces nearby include Thundersbarrow Hill and Ladies Mile.
- Local schools include Hove Park School (0.5 miles north-east) and The Drive Prep School (1 mile east)
- Nearby, you will find The Atlas pub (under half a mile north)
Space, access and the venue
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A short walk from the party
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue

About the food
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
For planners, venues and organisers
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. 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.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
FAQs for Brighton and Hove
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Brighton and Hove included. See all areas.

What happens on the day
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and we agree exactly where before the day. In December, it is dark in Brighton and Hove 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 plan a lit, sheltered spot for the van and queue.
