Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The minimum booking
- The date and time of year
- The length of service
- Travel, tolls and road charges
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- A picture of where the van would go
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Where the event is
- Expected numbers
Each quote is put together for your Christmas party. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
Christmas party fish and chips in Hanover, fried fresh
The cooking is inside the van, so the weather doesn’t stop service. Popular choices include sausage and chips, gravy and haddock and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater work Christmas parties and christmas fairs at schools.
At a festive party in Hanover, the van on the drive goes down well on a dark December evening. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Festive bookings around Hanover
Hanover is about 1 mile south of Brighton, in Brighton and Hove. Whether your Christmas party is in the middle of Hanover or on the outskirts, the service works the same way: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. Hanover is one of 30 places in Brighton and Hove we cover.
If a church like Church of the Annunciation is running a Christmas fair, a chip van is a welcome sight on a cold evening. A winter fair at a school like Elm Grove Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. The South Downs National Park is within about 7 miles of Hanover, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route. With the sea within about a mile, December breezes can be cold.
Anywhere in BN2, BN1 and BN50, we can bring the van to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Whether your Christmas party is on Elmore Road, London Road and Milton Road or anywhere nearby, we can park up and fry there. Nearby, we also serve Christmas parties in Brighton (1 mile north), Carlton Hill (1 mile south), West Hill (1 mile west), Seven Dials (1 mile west) and Kemptown (1 mile south-east). We also serve nearby towns such as Brighton and Hove (3 miles west), Aldrington (3 miles west), Hangleton (3 miles north-west), Patcham (3 miles north), Westdene (3 miles north-west) and Saltdean (4 miles south-east).

A little further out are Old Police Cells Museum (0.8 miles south-west) and Brighton General Hospital (0.6 miles east). The countryside around Hanover includes Whitehawk Hill and Newmarket Hill.
- Nearby schools include Academy of Creative Training (0.6 miles south) and Brighton Girls (1 mile west)

Other occasions in Hanover
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
FAQs for Hanover
How far is Hanover from London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.

We do. Tell us the date and pitch.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.

When should we book?
