Near you in Brighton
Around Brighton, we take the van to homes and venues near Fairlight Primary School, St Martin's Church and Park Crescent pub, among other places. Also close by are Brighton Hove and Sussex Sixth Form College (0.9 miles west), Academy of Creative Training (0.9 miles south) and William Clarke Park (under half a mile east). There’s a railway station in Brighton itself: London Road (Brighton) station, handy for guests travelling by train. A little further out are Brighton General Hospital (0.7 miles east) and Old Police Cells Museum (1 mile south-west). Green spaces within easy reach include Newmarket Hill and Whitehawk Hill.
Crew catering across Brighton and Hove
From Brighton, Hove and Carlton Hill to 6 villages and hamlets, Brighton and Hove has every kind of location. The van needs level, firm ground at the unit base. 30 of the places we cover in Brighton and Hove are within about 6 miles of the sea, so we frequently plan a sheltered side for the queue, and fish and chips feels right at home.
Brighton: Within reach of Brighton are historic houses such as Royal Pavilion (0.8 miles south-west) and Preston Manor & Gardens (1.1 miles north-west). Historic houses are popular locations, and most set strict rules for vehicles, so plan the unit base with locations. The A23 and A259 give trucks and the van a straightforward route to Brighton. Winter shoots near Brighton chase the light, which goes at about 3:55pm in December.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Give us a map or what3words for base
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
- Confirm allergies by email
A short menu keeps the line moving.
Tables or a marquee at base make lunch comfortable.
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Questions from Brighton and Hove
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.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
Can the van come to our wrap?
Yes, and crews love it. Send us the date and place.
