How it works
We don’t cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. For an evening event in Bevendean, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your visitors.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Tell us when you want to eat

Bevendean questions
What’s the nearest station to Bevendean?
The closest is Moulsecoomb station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Can you feed our volunteers and crew?
Yes, alongside public trading or on its own.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for visitors.
Can the van park on grass?
Generally, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Do you cover Bevendean?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Bevendean is within our area and the rest of Brighton and Hove. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
