Space, access and the venue
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- A short walk from the party
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

For planners, venues and organisers
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger staff and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Corporate buffets are typically cold. A van serves hot food to order. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.

- No surprises in your quote
- We cover Prestonville and the whole of Brighton and Hove
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies

Prestonville is about 1 mile west of Brighton, in Brighton and Hove. From the centre of Prestonville to the outskirts, the service works the same way: fresh frying, hot food from the hatch and a clear price. Prestonville is one of 30 places in Brighton and Hove where we bring the van.
For colleagues arriving by train, Preston Park station, about 0.6 miles north, is the nearest station. Being near the A23 makes Prestonville a simple run for the van. With the South Downs National Park within about 6 miles, rural team days are easy to arrange. Within about 2 miles of the sea, fish and chips goes down well with any team.
For staff events in BN1, BN3 and BN88, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many staff. We can serve a staff event on streets such as Dyke Road, Home Road and Lloyd Road or the roads around them, wherever the van can park. You’ll find Prestonville on the A23, which makes the journey straightforward. We also bring the van to staff events in Seven Dials (1 mile south), Preston (1 mile north), West Hill (1 mile south-east), Brunswick (1 mile south) and Withdean (1 mile north).

Prestonville 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 follow the site rules.
How far is Prestonville from London?
About 46 miles from central London.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.

Tell us the shift and break times and we will plan service around them.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?

When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
How it works
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your staff can wander over to the hatch once service starts. After-work summer events in Prestonville 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.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
