The menu, dish by dish

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Brighton Hill
How far is Brighton Hill from London?
Roughly 47 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you trade at school fairs around Brighton Hill?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
How big a pitch do you need?
Send us the pitch details, and we will check it works.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for visitors are worth planning.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Brighton Hill.
Can you cater for helpers?
Yes, at a time that suits your schedule.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Agree who removes waste
- Ask traders for allergen information to display
- Agree how we will be paid: pitch fee, share of takings or minimum
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
We set up before visitors arrive, at the agreed time.
Plan vehicle access before visitors arrive.

What a fish and chip van costs
We’ll give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Distance and any road charges
- Whether a minimum applies
- Numbers
- Parking and the way in
Larger groups usually cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What we need to know
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- A photo of the parking spot
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
What the van needs
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that does not block walkways
- Details of any power or water on site
- Firm, level ground for the pitch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
On the menu in Brighton Hill

The process
You’ll know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first visitors wander across. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. Winter fairs in Brighton Hill are dark by about 4:00pm, so pitches need lighting; in late May there’s light until about 8:55pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Have a level parking spot ready

Each quote is put together for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.

Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
One good hot-food van can be enough at a smaller event. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
Why book with us
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Something for visitors to gather round

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
