About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Where the van can park in Brunswick
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- A short walk from the party
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Access wide and high enough for the van
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
Hog roasts are a Christmas favourite, but it’s one dish. A van offers fish, sausages and pies. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.

Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Collect allergies in advance
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Plan lighting near the hatch
We arrive in good time and set up in a lit spot before the party starts.
Some teams collect for a local charity on the day.
How it works
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we will adjust start times and pace to suit your Christmas party. Sunset in Brunswick in late December is 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.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day

Planning help
Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Planning a Christmas party in Brunswick
Brunswick is about 1 mile south-west of Brighton, in Brighton and Hove. Whether your Christmas party is in the middle of Brunswick or on the outskirts, the service works the same way: fresh frying, hot food from the hatch and a clear price. Brunswick is one of 30 towns and villages in Brighton and Hove we cover.
Train travellers will want to know that Brighton station is about 0.6 miles away. Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as St Stephen's Church draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards. Brunswick is within about 7 miles of the South Downs National Park; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning. With the sea within about a mile, December breezes can be cold.
Christmas parties anywhere in BN1, BN3 and BN50 start with a parking spot for the van and roughly how many guests. We can serve a Christmas party on streets such as Farm Road, York Road and Powis Road, wherever the van can park. Close by, we cover Christmas parties in Seven Dials (1 mile north-east), West Hill (1 mile north-east), Prestonville (1 mile north), Hove (1 mile north-west) and Carlton Hill (1 mile east). We also serve nearby towns such as Hangleton (3 miles north-west), Patcham (3 miles north), Hollingbury (3 miles north), Bevendean (3 miles north-east), Saltdean (5 miles east) and East Saltdean (6 miles east). Brunswick is among the bigger towns we cover in Brighton and Hove, with plenty of venues for Christmas parties.
A little further out are Old Police Cells Museum (0.7 miles south-east) and Churchill Square (within half a mile east). The countryside around Brunswick includes Whitehawk Hill and Newmarket Hill.
- Schools near Brunswick include Brighton Girls (under half a mile north-east) and The Drive Prep School (0.9 miles north-west)
- Local pubs include Maris & Otter pub (less than half a mile west)
