Planners, venues and businesses
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.

Bramber questions
What’s the nearest station to Bramber?
Shoreham-By-Sea station, about 4.1 miles south-east of the centre.
Can you serve near the sea around Bramber?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Can the van park on grass?
Normally, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can the van come to our fair?
Send us the event details, dates and pitch information and we will let you know if we’re available.
Do you do school fairs and sports days?
Yes. We will agree access before the children arrive.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Do you do crew food?
Yes, at a time that suits your schedule.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Bramber events: pitches and permissions
Bramber is about 4 miles north-west of Shoreham-by-Sea, in West Sussex. We park up at drives, car parks, yards and venues around Bramber and the surrounding area. We take the van to 371 places in West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Brighton, about 9 miles away.
If you’re organising a summer fair or sports day for a school such as Upper Beeding Primary School, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. Church fêtes, at churches such as The Parish Church of St Nicholas, are a natural home for a chip van. With the sea within about 5 miles, we plan shelter from the wind for coastal events.
For events in BN44, we just need to know where the van can park and a serving time. That could mean an event at a home on The Street, King's Stone Avenue and Saxon Road, as long as there is somewhere for the van. Nearby, we also serve events in Steyning (1 mile west), Upper Beeding (1 mile east), Botolphs (1 mile south), Sompting (4 miles south) and Lancing (4 miles south). Within a short drive, we also cover Horsham (12 miles north), Worthing (6 miles south-west), Haywards Heath (12 miles north-east), Burgess Hill (10 miles north-east), Littlehampton (11 miles south-west) and Shoreham-by-Sea (4 miles south-east).
Well-known places in the area include Southlands Hospital (4.1 miles south-east) and Steyning Museum (less than half a mile west). Green spaces nearby include Steep Down and Woods Mill.
- Nearby schools include Steyning Grammar School (0.7 miles north-west)
- Local pubs include The Model Bakery The Norfolk Arms (0.5 miles west)
Space, access and the venue

Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

How we price a fish and chip van for your event
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Whether a minimum applies
- The menu and how many choices
- How far we travel
- How many people are eating
Larger groups typically cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
These details help us quote quickly:
- The address or venue name
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Where you’d like the van to go
The quickest way to a quote is to fill in our quote form. Give us the details of your event, and we will check the date and send a price.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Settle the pitch terms early
- Arrange bins and waste collection
- Plan crew and volunteer food times
- Let us know about allergy rules on site
We set up before visitors arrive, at the agreed time.
A spot near the entrance or main ring works well.
About the food
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Step by step
The first sign we have arrived is normally the smell, about the time the first visitors wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. At midsummer, events in Bramber stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Give us a contact for the day
