Fish and chip van for events across Brighton and Hove
Fêtes, school fairs, festivals and shows all suit a chip van. We’re often asked to cater feeding event crew and country shows, serving haddock and chips, chips and mushy peas.
The first sign we have arrived is normally the smell, about the time the first visitors wander across. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

Near you in Brighton
Locally, our bookings take us close to Fairlight Primary School, St Martin's Church and Park Crescent pub. Other local landmarks include Brighton Hove and Sussex Sixth Form College (0.9 miles west), Academy of Creative Training (0.9 miles south) and William Clarke Park (within half a mile east). There’s a railway station in Brighton itself: London Road (Brighton) station, handy for guests travelling by train. Other landmarks nearby include Brighton General Hospital (0.7 miles east) and Old Police Cells Museum (1 mile south-west). Green spaces nearby include Newmarket Hill and Whitehawk Hill.
Fairs, fêtes and festivals across Brighton and Hove
In Brighton and Hove’s villages, events may have limited power and water, and town events in Brighton, Hove and Carlton Hill need quick service for bigger crowds. The van does both. 30 of the places we cover in Brighton and Hove are within about 6 miles of the sea, where we always think about shelter for the queue, and fish and chips feels right at home.
Brighton: Events in parks such as William Clarke Park need permission from the council or landowner, and the van needs a firm route onto the pitch. For visitors coming by rail, London Road (Brighton) station is in Brighton itself. Winter fairs in Brighton are dark by about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; in late May there is light until about 8:50pm.
Why a fish and chip van works
Rain does not stop the fryers, which matters at outdoor events.
We can help if you are planning any of the following:
- Festivals
- Fundraisers
- Fish and chip supper nights
- Agricultural and country shows
DIY versus a fish and chip 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 is fried on the spot.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Space for a queue away from paths
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few visitors with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Arrange bins and waste collection
- Ask traders for allergen information to display
- Agree when volunteers will eat
- Let us know about allergy rules on site
Bins near the van help keep the site tidy.
A sign at the entrance tells visitors hot food is available.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue run by volunteers, a chip van frees your helpers.
Questions to ask before you book
- The cancellation terms
- Any minimum charge

- The service time, and the cost of running over
