A fish and chip van or other catering?

A meal out takes everyone off site. The van brings lunch to the team. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

Why book with us

  • Hot food handed straight over
  • The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
  • No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
  • Bookings across Brighton and Hove, including Whitehawk

Take a look at our prices page and what a fish and chip van costs.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?

Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.

For planners, venues and organisers

Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Whitehawk? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.

Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.

What comes out of the fryer

Pie and chips

Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s a favourite in colder months.

Mushy peas

Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.

The process

We arrive on time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. Summer events after work in Whitehawk have light until about 9:15pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:50pm.

  1. Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
  2. Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
  3. A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
  4. We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
  5. Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

Getting ready for the day

  • Tell us when you want to eat
  • Choose a level, firm spot for the van
  • Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Whitehawk: your questions answered

What about events near the coast?

Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.

Could you trade in Whitehawk Hill?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first.

Do you serve visitors at events?

Yes, and it keeps people on site longer. Tell us the expected numbers and hours.

How long will the queue be?

That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.

Can you cater for allergies?

Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.

Do you have a kids’ option?

Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.

How much space do you need?

A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your staff, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.

Do you have documents for our site?

Tell us what your site needs when you enquire, and we’ll go through it with you.

What a fish and chip van costs

Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:

  • The number of meals
  • The minimum booking
  • Travel, tolls and road charges
  • Service time

The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.

What to tell us

When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:

  • Where you’d like the van to go
  • The date and when you’d like to eat
  • A picture of the space and the way in
  • Expected numbers

A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you’re ready, use our quote form.

Looking after everyone

Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:

  • Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
  • Check the site’s requirements for caterers
  • Tell us exactly when each group can eat
  • Tell us about coeliac staff specifically

Bins and napkins by the van make it easy.

A simple pre-order helps us plan.
