Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Brighton and Hove
We work with your facilities team on access and parking, and we’ll confirm what we can provide for your site’s paperwork. For lunch for site crews and summer team days, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips and more.
In Brighton and Hove, team lunches tend to be at the office, unit or yard. The van brings lunch to the team. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Planning a team lunch in Brighton and Hove
Brighton and Hove is in England. Tell us where your staff event in Brighton and Hove will be, and we’ll plan the route and the parking spot. We take the van to all 30 towns and villages in Brighton and Hove, from the larger towns to small villages.
Brighton and Hove is about 46 miles from central London, well within our area. With the A270 and A293 nearby, access for the van is straightforward. The South Downs National Park is within about 7 miles, which suits team days in the countryside. The coast is within about 3 miles, so a chip van lunch feels like a day at the seaside.
We take the van to staff events all over BN3, BN41 and BN1. Local streets include New Church Road, Princes Square and Station Road; a staff event on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. Being close to the A270 and A293, Brighton and Hove is simple for us to get to with the van.

Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Ask facilities about access
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Send round an allergy question
Put bins near the hatch.
A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.
Step by step
We don’t cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. After-work summer events in Brighton and Hove have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- We start with a few details about your staff event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your staff.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Brighton and Hove questions
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’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can the van park in Hove Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Where will the van go on our site?
Your facilities team decides, but car parks and yards usually work well.
Can you serve each shift?
Yes, if we know the times. We’ll agree a service plan before the day.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Do you have documents for our site?
Every site asks for something different, so ask facilities for their list and pass it on.
Can the van come to our open day?
Yes, it’s a great draw. Send us the timings and numbers.
Where the van can park in Brighton and Hove
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Office caterers bring cold buffets. A van serves hot food to order. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.

What else we do in Brighton and Hove
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and it’s a favourite with children.
How we price a fish and chip van for your team
These are the factors that matter most:
- Parking and the way in
- How far we travel
- Any minimum charge
- The day of the week
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your staff event.
