What affects the price in Hanover
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:

- Parking and the way in
- Cod, haddock or both

Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

Takeaway run or book a van?
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. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Events we cater in Hanover
It’s self-contained, just a spot at the unit base.
We can help if you’re planning any of the following:
- Event crews
- Ad shoots
- Lunch at the unit base
- Location shoots

Location catering around Hanover
Hanover is about 1 mile south of Brighton, in Brighton and Hove. In and around Hanover, the van can serve from a drive, a yard, a car park or a firm field, close to your crew. Hanover is one of 30 places in Brighton and Hove where we bring the van.
For crew arriving by train, the closest railway station is Brighton station, roughly 0.6 miles west of the centre. Hanover is roughly 46 miles from central London, within easy reach for London-based crews. Hanover is within about 7 miles of the South Downs National Park, and locations in protected landscapes often have rules about vehicles. With the sea within about a mile, coastal shoots need a sheltered base, so plan where crew will queue.
Shoots anywhere in BN2, BN1 and BN50 start with a parking spot for the van and roughly how many crew. From Elmore Road, London Road and Milton Road or a nearby road, we can park up and fry there. Nearby, we also serve shoots 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). As one of the bigger places in Brighton and Hove, Hanover has lots of places where the van can park.

- Nearby schools include Academy of Creative Training (0.6 miles south) and Brighton Girls (1 mile west)
- Nearby, you will find The Dover Castle pub (less than half a mile south)
Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
- Name a contact in the production office
- Confirm numbers the day before
- Agree the waste plan with locations
We arrive at base in good time and set up, out of the way.
A dining area at base helps.

Questions from Hanover
Could you trade in Queen's Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first.
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Can you feed supporting artists too?
Of course. Just tell us who counts.
What can crew choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Hanover.
Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
Long shoots generally need a full catering unit. A van is great for short jobs and crew treats. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.
